Description:

This is the 1954 first Turkish edition of Alberte (Haram Aşk) by Pierre Benoit, published by Ekicigil Yayınları. The original French novel was first published in 1926 by Albin Michel.

The novel tells the story of Alberte de Vildrac, a widowed mother living a secluded and austere life. Her daughter Camille introduces her to Franz, a talented young engineer whom she loves and plans to marry. Alberte unexpectedly becomes deeply attracted to Franz, setting in motion a forbidden and destructive passion that threatens to tear the family apart.

The novel explores forbidden desire, jealousy, guilt, family relationships, and the destructive consequences of passion. It is one of Benoit's darker and more psychologically intense novels, focusing on the conflict between social morality and uncontrollable emotion.

This edition has additional collector appeal because the cover was specially illustrated by the Turkish artist Çetin for the Turkish publication. The artwork represents a Turkey-only interpretation of the novel, making it a unique Turkey-only cover collectible.
