Turkish folk literature is an oral tradition deeply rooted, in its form, in Central Asian nomadic traditions.One example of this is the series of folktales surrounding the figure of Keloglan, a young boy beset with the difficulties of finding a wife, helping his mother to keep the family house intact, and dealing with the problems caused by his neighbors. Another example is the rather mysterious figure of Nasreddin, atrickster figure who often plays jokes, of a sort, on his neighbors.
These tales are anonymous and in every tale Keloglan finds himself in a trouble situation and finally he solves the problems with his cunningness.
We have added some links related to Keloglan Tales and Nasreddin Hodja Anectodes.
