Aşk-ı Memnu (Ottoman Turkish for The Forbidden Love) is a Turkish realist-neutralist novel by Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil. It was serialized in 1899 and 1900 in Servet-i Fünun, a leading Turkish literary magazine of the time.
[edit] Adaptations
Aşk-ı Memnu was adapted by Halit Refiğ into a TV series in 1975, considered to be the first miniseries on Turkish television. Another TV series adaptation named Aşk-ı Memnu aired from 2008 to 2010. It takes place in the modern-day Istanbul instead of the novel's late 19th-century setting.
The novel was made into a 3-act play by Tarık Günersel. Later Günersel wrote a libretto based on the novel. Günersel's libretto has been set to music by Selman Ada, and the opera version premiered in 2003 at the Mersin State Opera House.
