Abstract (English)"The story is based on Gül's own life. It is written in Turkish. As all the texts are in rhyme they cannot be translated without significant loss of meaning. The narrative takes place between 1905 and 1978 in Adana. It is told as a flashback. The protagonist called Kaldirim Fahri/Pavement Fahri is a tough-guy, a mirror of Gül himself, who is telling a group of friends his life story. Whilst talking, he often pauses to fight with his best friend and adversary. The first book is the story of a baby who is found in the toilet by a witch. Sha calls it 'bog-rat' and dedicates herself to torturing the child. She keeps him in the coal shed, when he grows a little she sends him out to beg. From his first day he has to fight and he never stops. " -- leaf in the book
