Crimean fig. Quresh/Qirim inciri. Küreş

Blooming amidst the turmoil, «Crimean Fig / Qrm Inciri» presents a vibrant tapestry of words. This anthology gathers the finest Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar literary works submitted to the 2021-2022 competition, echoing from corners of Ukraine and beyond. Notably, some contributors — including Nariman Dzhelal, Server Mustafayev, and Asan Akhtem — currently face fabricated charges in Russian prisons, their voices silenced but their words boldly defiant.
Within these pages, poetry and prose intermingle with translations, inviting readers to delve into the heart of Crimean culture. Immerse yourself in the timeless tales of classic and contemporary authors, unfurling the peninsula's history and the realities of its present.
A testament to resilience, the anthology celebrates the official transition of the Crimean Tatar language to Latin script. Uniquely, each piece written in Cyrillic is presented alongside its Latin translation, bridging the gap for diverse audiences.
