This is the 1954 first Turkish edition of Return to the Future (Yarına Dönüş) by Sigrid Undset, published by Varlık Yayınları. The Turkish edition was translated by Tahsin Yücel and published in Istanbul in 1954.

Return to the Future is a memoir based on Sigrid Undset's dramatic escape from Nazi-occupied Norway during the Second World War. She recounts her journey from Norway through Sweden, the Soviet Union, and Japan before finally reaching the United States.

Rather than being a conventional novel, the book combines personal memoir, travel narrative, and historical observation. Undset describes the countries and societies she encounters during her escape while reflecting on war, totalitarianism, democracy, freedom, and the uncertain future of Europe.

This particular copy is especially appealing to collectors as a 1954 first Turkish edition from Varlık Yayınları and is in the classic pocketsize format.
