Very Good Turkish Original autograph letter signed by Haldun Taner. 30x21 cm. In Turkish. 1 p. 16 lines in Turkish with a legible manuscript. On a hotel paper with the advertising of German Lufthansa Airways in Bonn. Rheinhotel engraved. Addressed to Ulvi Uraz, (1921-1974), who was a famous Turkish theater and cinema actor and director. Taner was a well-known Turkish playwright and short story writer. He was born on March 16, 1915, in Istanbul. After graduating from the Galatasaray High School in 1935, he studied politics and economy at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, until a serious health problem forced him to return to Turkey, where he graduated from the Faculty of German Literature and Linguistics in 1950. He also studied theatre and philosophy at the University of Vienna between 1955 and 1957 under the direction of Heinz Kindermann (1894-1985), an Austrian theater and literary scholar. As a well-disciplined writer accumulating a rich blend of culture, Taner wrote a great number of stories, generally humorous; essays, newspaper columns, travel writings and theatre plays, in particular, brought him several important awards including the New York Herald Tribune Story Contest First Prize (1954), the Sait Faik Story Award (1954), the International Festival of the Humor of Bordighera Award (1969), and so on. Among his plays, the most popular is Kesanli Ali Destani (Epopee of Ali of Keshan). His stories have been translated into German, French, English, Russian, Greek, Slovenian, Swedish, and Hebrew. Taner affected Turkish theater with the so-called Haldun Taner Theater named after his school of cabaret theater style. In 1967, together with Metin Akpinar, Zeki Alasya, and Ahmet Gülhan, he founded the Devekusu Kabere ("Ostrich Cabaret Theater"). He educated and worked with many actors and directors. In addition, he has a distinguished place in Turkish literature due to his essays, and newspaper articles.

Very Good Turkish Original TLS by Onat Kutlar sent to Cihan Akerson, (1946-2019). 29x23cm. In Turkish. 1 p. Folded in its envelope. Document on Venice Biennial, Turkish cinema, Yilmaz Güney, etc. Onat Kutlar was born in Alanya, Turkey in 1936. He was the grandson of Arif Pasha, an Ottoman governor of the Taif district and the son of Ali Riza Bey, a penal judge of the young Turkish Republic and later a farmer, and Meliha Hanim. He grew up in the city of Gaziantep. He studied law at Istanbul University and philosophy in Paris. His book, Ishak (1959), composed of nine short stories, most of which are written from the point of view of a child and are often surrealistic and mystical was the recipient of the 1960 "Turkish Language Association Short Story Award". According to the literary critic Fethi Naci, these represent a very early example of the magical realism genre. In 1985, he was a member of the jury at the 35th Berlin International Film Festival. In 1994, he was awarded L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and in 1975 Cultural Medal of Poland for his work in the Turkish Sinematek. He died on 11 January 1995 in Istanbul resulting from injuries sustained in a bomb attack (carried out by the terror organization PKK) which occurred on 30 December 1994 at The Marmara Hotel's cafeteria in Taksim. He was laid to rest at the Asiyan Asri Cemetery. Currently, the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize in the National Competition of the Istanbul International Film Festival is named after him to commemorate his contributions to the Turkish cinema.
