Sabahattin Ali was a Turkish writer born in 1907 in Ottoman-controlled Bulgaria.
He worked as a teacher and studied in Germany before returning to Turkey.

He wrote novels, short stories, and poetry, with "Madonna in a Fur Coat" becoming his most famous work.
Ali also edited a popular newspaper with Aziz Nesin.
