I think Aşk-ı Memnu doesn’t have a French translation.

There is (an admittedly unpolished) non-professional English translation of the book on the internet:

https://www.eadeverell.com/forreaders/forbidden-love/

The translation has some mistakes, but many of my mutuals did read it and liked it, so I think you can take a look?

Hey, this is a bit random, and bear in mind I've never watched Ask-i-Memmu (only clips back when I was trying to assess whether Beren Saat could act or not), but considering what you said about adultery being such a big deal in Turkey and Nigar being hated for being an adulterer, how come was this series so popular? Do they never actually "consume" their love? Is Bihter hated? (you can spoil idc)

(Aşk-ı Memnu (both the book and the show) is about a sexual affair. I will just get this out of the way because I won’t dwell on it again).

This is actually something that had always puzzled me, so I am glad that you have asked!

“Mistresses” are very hated in the Turkish fandoms, very hated. “Actresses who play them get a hard time” level of hatred. So the hatred Nigar gets is not that surprising. Bihter is the outlier here, not Nigar.

Bihter is a very popular character in Turkey. She is pretty much the only female fictional character in Turkey whose death (in the show) gets commemorated on social media every year (the day is 24th of June, if you are curious). She is considered to be a bit of an icon. She does get hate and slut-shaming, sure, but I would say that she is more loved than hated overall.

Her character in the book (which is a literary classic in Turkey) is also really beloved in literary circles, so Bihter has a “cultural cachet” that most other mistress characters in Turkish soap operas don’t have.

(This often frustrated me because I was a huge fan of Nihal, the other relatively overlooked female protagonist of Aşk-ı Memnu the novel that I thought was in some ways even better-written than Bihter herself. It puzzled me why every literary critic and casual reader alike preferred Bihter. But now I grew up a bit and yeah, I think I now get why people are more interested in Bihter, though I still think that Nihal is the more well-written character).

Back to the show: Why is Bihter so loved by a population of people who typically hates adulteresses?

Well:

1- Bihter is beautiful. I might think that Nigar is beautiful, but I would ultimately concede that this is a matter of differing taste. Bihter’s beauty is not a matter of debate. She is beautiful. Actually due to the styling and lighting, Bihter is more beautiful than Beren Saat herself.

And as much as we like to pretend that this is not the case, aesthetics matter a lot in these things.

2- Bihter is a fashion icon, in both the book and in the show. Actual fashion people dressed her in the show. She always looks so glamorous.

She is also rich and is said to be well-educated in the show (though she wasn’t very well-educated in the book).

The hatred Nigar receives on the other hand is almost more about her class status than about her looks. In the historical context Nigar actually is meant to be a fairly well-educated woman, but to the average Turkish soap opera watcher she just registers as “a servant”. Her rival being the glamorous and beautiful Hatice Sultan and Nigar’s actress’s accent not being the standardized Turkish accent also doesn’t help.

3- Aşk-ı Memnu’s plot is just about this affair. So Bihter at least doesn’t get the “This is unnecessary soapy drama taking focus away from the important historical men stuff” accusation. It is what the show she is in is about.

Aşk-ı Memnu is also wholly fictional so Bihter is not accused of sullying the reputation of the historical figure she is having an affair with either.

4- Aşk-ı Memnu’s story is kind of designed to acquit Bihter. Especially the show’s:

a) Bihter’s tragedy is foreshadowed by her mother’s “immorality”. So there is always the sense that the person to blame is her mother instead of Bihter herself? I mean it is complicated, I won’t explain the entire plot of Aşk-ı Memnu now, but the reader/viewer does get that impression.

b) Bihter’s husband is significantly older than her (she is in her 20s, he is in his 50s). In both the book and the series he is unattractive whereas she is gorgeous, and in the show he actually rapes her (this happens after Bihter already started sleeping with his nephew, but, you know, the rape retroactively makes that decision more justifiable).

c) The show systematically made everyone around Bihter as unlikable as possible.

Nihal was an annoying and hysterical teen in the book, sure, but she was smart and had her own kind of depth, and Behlül (Bihter’s lover) was the one who pursued Nihal rather than the vice versa. In the show Nihal is an idiot who is obsessed with Behlül. The show goes out of its way to make this teenage girl, who really is the victim in this situation, as irritating and unlikable as possible.

Beşir (who reveals Bihter’s affair) was an absolutely tragic castrated Black slave in the book and clearly came from a place very close to the book’s author’s heart. The show made him into a… some creepy guy that no one feels sad for??

In Nigar’s case, sure, people might dislike Hatice’s “hysterics”, but Selma Ergeç is a beautiful woman and Hatice wears beautiful clothes and for all her flaws Hatice is more sympathetic than the characters in Aşk-ı Memnu.

d) In the show, Behlül (Bihter’s lover) is a good-for-nothing bastard who is in love with Bihter but who is too afraid to stay loyal to her. No one will say “Bihter is not worthy of Behlül”, they will say the opposite.

In Nigar’s case Ibrahim is an extremely accomplished, important and charismatic political figure from history, and the show more or less says that he didn’t love Nigar anyway (I mean, I think that’s debatable, but this is how most viewers perceive it to be). So of course Nigar comes across as pathetic and obsessed whereas Ibrahim is the “cool one” screaming “What love??!” to her face.

5- Bihter’s death. The Turkish public wouldn’t love Bihter if she hadn’t killed herself in the finale.

Her death is the climax of the show. She also pretty much immediately kills herself when her affair gets revealed.

Nigar lives for years after her “shame” gets revealed, and she is actually rather shameless about the whole thing, always proclaiming that she was only “a victim of fate” and looking straight into the eyes of people like Afife Hatun who look at her in disgust. My reaction is “You go girl!” but the Turkish public’s (and Bali Bey’s) reaction is “Ugh, die already!”.

Nigar’s death is also stupid and doesn’t feel very climactic, both because it drags on and because a lot else happens in the show.

So yes, I think these are the reasons why Bihter is shown more mercy than a character like Nigar.

Sorry if this rambling wasn’t very polished. The hour is late here and this is a topic that I have a lot of ideas about.

Rebelcaptain fic: The Burden of the Living

Jyn is always grieving.

From the moment she wakes up in the Alliance Med Bay, fleeing Yavin 4, she grieves.

She grieves for her mother, for Saw, for Galen, for Chirrut and Baze and all the large group of soldiers who followed her into battle on Scarif and never made it out alive.

She grieves for the city of NiJedha.

She grieves for herself.

Jyn Erso should have died on Scarif. She knows that. It gnaws at her bones and it breaks across her skin, whispers in her soul, the knowledge that she shouldn’t be alive.

And then the nurse tells her why they’re on a ship in the middle of space, why they are fleeing.

To the nurse, it’s no big news. Jyn has been out for three weeks, and in that time shock has returned to the everyday simmering rage that any rebel carries with her.

But Jyn listens. She listens to the news of who had lived and died on Scarif, as far as the nurse is aware. She listens to the news of the losses during the battle of Yavin. She nods with mute incomprehension that the nurse takes as acceptance.

“Oh,” the other woman throws over her head, like she’s sharing last minute gossip before leaving. “Princess Leia is going to want to talk to you. Probably. Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star, so she’s been barking orders around here since we boarded.”

Jyn doesn’t see her go.

The white walls, the beeping machines, the quiet patients in medbay blur and then wink out, the news hitting her like a force of shock and grief so overwhelming the world simply vanishes before her eyes.

Alderaan.

A whole planet full of people. Millions of people. Billions. They’d only been aiding the rebellion in secret, as far as Jyn knew, so the people there hadn’t even been participating in the war.

They hadn’t asked for any of this.

They hadn’t asked for her father’s monster to destroy their world. To incinerate them. To whisk their lives away as if they were nothing.

She doesn’t know if she’s stopped breathing, if she’d started trembling. But when Cassian’s hands land on her upper arms, they are burning hot through her tunic.

When he gently shakes her, the first breath that does escape her is a laugh, cold and trembling and a single step away from sobbing heartbreak.

“Jyn.”

He pushes her up, straight, forcing her to look at him, to see the way his hair flies through the air with the force of his own movement.

Somewhere behind him she can hear someone exclaim that he shouldn’t be running in his condition, but Jyn trembles in his hands and the world she can comprehend narrows into the man in front of her.

He doesn’t smile. There’s no welcome back, no you’re awake, no I’m so glad you’re alive. Instead his eyes are deep and dark with his own grief. Instead he reaches up and touches the pad of his thumb to the skin below her eye.

“What’s wrong?”

As if they’d never been separated in the first place.

They’re all dead, she wants to say.

But Jyn opens her mouth and finds she has no voice to speak. 

Her throat closes excruciatingly.

And Jyn recoils, closes her eyes, pulling back to swallow the pain.

It hurts. It burns all over, like a seer of fire, the knowledge, the pain of what she had failed to stop. Failed to even witness. It’s a fire in her heart, in her throat, and in her eyes.

And when she finally throws them open again to look at Cassian, tears fall in liberated streams down her eyes, turning the world to a blur of colour and light, stealing Cassian from her once more time.

“Cassian,” she nearly chokes. She grasps for his hands, for the evidence of his warm existence at her side, life she greedily needs but does not deserve. Comfort, she receives and clings to. “Rogue One.”

His voice is quiet when he answers her, soothing but understanding. And underneath she feels his despair and loss answer her own. “I know.”

“Yavin.”

His fingers escape her grasp, only to climb up her wrists in order to settle more firmly to hold her still, hold her in place. Begging her not to flee.

“I know.”

Jyn blinks away the tears, fights the grief if only to be able to see him. She blinks the water away as best she can, and he comes into focus, his hair dishevelled, his body still bound, his expression cut open with grief.

She looks beyond him to Bodhi, standing silently by their side, bandages covering his neck and climbing under his own tunic to protect more wounds as they heal. His hair is cut short and his eyes are wide with grief.

Beside him stands a set of crutches not his own.

“Alderaan,” she whispers.

Neither man answer her in words, but she can see the confirmation on their faces.

Her hands, the world swims.

Cassian pulls her forwards into his arms, and at the collision with warmth and life, as sob escapes her. Followed by another and another. Until she’s crying like a child, grasping for air, the despair too great to keep quiet.

Her fingers claw at his shirt, grasping purchase, and she holds on for dear life, tears burning from her eyes in never-ending streams.

Somewhere far away, Bodhi climbs onto the bed as well, and rests his weight against her also. And Jyn, for the first time in as long as she can remember, lets the emotion overwhelm her, knowing and trusting that she is safe in the arms of home and family.
