Aşk-ı Memnu (Turkish pronunciation: [aʃkɯ memˈnuː]) (Ottoman Turkish for The Forbidden Love) is a Turkish romance novel by Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil. It was serialized in 1899 and 1900 in Servet-i Fünun, a leading Turkish literary magazine of the time.[1]
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. Telemundo produced a Spanish adaptation of the serial, Pasión prohibida, which was set in Miami.
The novel was made into a 3-act play by Tarık Günersel, who also wrote a libretto for the Turkish composer Selman Ada leading to an opera.
