Widely known in Turkey and far beyond its borders primarily as the author of the detective series about Inspector Nevzat, with whom Russian-speaking readers are already familiar from the novels "Istanbul Rebus" and "Swallow's Cry", in his book "The Gates of Mystery" Ahmet Umit appears as a storyteller, able to overcome the canons of genres and combining them, from a new perspective to show the relationship between people and religion, passion and faith, relevant today as well as centuries ago. In the plot of the book the author put the story of a woman searching for the meaning of life, tormented by thoughts of her missing father and the fate of her future child. And in this story are woven several intriguing lines related to Sufism, the history of the city of Konya, the relationship between the outstanding poet and thinker of the Middle Ages Jelaleddin Rumi and mystic and theologian of the East Shams Tabrizi and the mystery of his death. By and large, the novel The Gates of Mystery is a mystical adventure in which the present and the past are juxtaposed, and concrete reality and the supernatural lead from one to the other.
