Yorulmaz's rare first Turkish translation of 'Das Kapital' has been the subject of many 'translation studies'. The most important work in the entrepreneurship of Yorulmaz's left thought repertoire that was published within his cultural series was 'Sermaye [= Das Kapital]'. Published as the 7th book of 'the Capital Culture Series', an abridged translation of Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Yorulmaz wrote about his translation: "I had an experience on these empty days and I am translating and publishing a loyal story of 14 volumes, "Das Kapital", collected by Gabriel Dövil. If this abridged edition is requested, I will finally begin with these 14 volumes, starting in June 1937, and translating four every year." Yorulmaz had translated 'Das Kapital' to Turkish from Gabrielle Deville's French translation which was an abridged edition. According to his comments, the purpose of Yorulmaz was, if this abridged edition is requested or demanded he would translate full text of 'Das Kapital'. However, he couldn't realize this dream. Nevertheless, the effect of the 'Sermaye' in the Turkish leftist thought had been considerable. As "Capital" was the first translation of "Das Kapital" into Turkish, it functioned at that time to fill the gap that existed in terms of socialist thought. He was concerned with knowing Karl Marx's thoughts, and therefore in his preface to 'Sermaye', he described his intellectual approach as "[one] sect which is one of the deepest thoughts and has made the biggest earthquake in the world in social and political life". In his preface, he wrote: "We have nothing but a small realized interference about Karl Marx's study in the law school in Ankara by Cavit Bey and the Turkish attorney Sükrü Kaya Bey, five to ten pages of translations." (Source: Haydar Rifat Yorulmaz'in çevirileri, (1908-1940): Bir sol düsünce 'repertuvari'nin kurulusu, Bilal Çelik). In the preface of the 1888 English Edition of 'Das Kapital', Engels says "I was told that the Armenian translation, which was expected to be published in Istanbul a few months ago, did not see the light of day because the publisher was afraid to release a book bearing the name of Marx, while the translator refused to show it as his own work.". (Das Kapital in Turkey, Savran & Tonak). Haydar Rifat was a Turkish lawyer, intellectual, translator and author. He brought the works of world-famous writers such as Emil Ludwig, Lenin, Gustav, Balzac, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Karl Marx into Turkish; he published his translations under the series titled 'Dün ve Yarin Tercüme Külliyati' [i.e. Yesterday and Tomorrow as Translation]. In addition, many articles he wrote in the fields of law and literature appeared in various newspapers and magazines. Not in OCLC.

Édition originale de la traduction française (pas de grand papier). Très bel exemplaire à l'état neuf. Bret Easton Ellis est un écrivain, nouvelliste, réalisateur et scénariste américain né le 7 mars 1964 à Los Angeles. Il est l'un des auteurs principaux du mouvement Génération X et peut-être aussi parfois considéré comme un romancier d'anticipation sociale. Se considérant lui-même comme un moraliste, certains voient en lui un nihiliste. Les personnages qu'il dépeint à travers son œuvre sont souvent jeunes, dépravés et vains, tout en en étant conscient et en l'assumant. Ellis situe ses romans dans les années 1980, faisant du mercantilisme et de l'industrie du divertissement de cette décennie un symbole. Il est aussi considéré comme l'un des pionniers du mouvement littéraire Brat Pack, ainsi que son ami de longue date, lui aussi écrivain, Jay McInerney. C'est en 1985 avec la publication de Moins que zéro, son premier roman, qu'à l'âge de 21 ans il acquiert un grand succès critique et commercial, le propulsant au rang de star. Son troisième roman et plus grand succès commercial, American Psycho, suscita à sa sortie en 1991 de très nombreuses controverses. Il fut notamment accusé de misogynie, ce qui conduisit son éditeur, Simon & Schuster à arrêter la publication de son ouvrage. Le roman fut tout de même publié par une autre maison d'édition.
