The quartet A Story of an Island is about the efforts of the people left behind from wars, massacres and exiles to establish a new life on an island vacated by the Greeks sent to Greece. Hope is the main character of the novel. With the decision of the population exchange taken in Lausanne, the Greeks were sent to Greece and it was decided that the people who lost their homes in the wars would be settled on this island in the Aegean. The fate of the island changes with the arrival of Poyraz Musa. People of various origins who take refuge on the island, with the support of Poyraz Musa, keep hope alive despite all the pain they experience and grow the sprouts of a new life. "Yaşar Kemal is one of the greatest storytellers of the contemporary world. To read him is to understand life itself. He writes like a fearless hero." -John Berger "Yaşar Kemal is the oldest traditional storyteller since Homer. He is the voice of the people who have no other voice." -Elia Kazan "Happily, Yaşar Kemal discovered the tradition of narration that we had lost. He turned history and politics upside down, and after twenty-five or thirty centuries, the Greek poet (Homer) fell silent and the Trojan poet (Yaşar Kemal) took the floor." -Robert Kanters "Whenever I am asked to give an example of a contemporary novelist, the first name that comes to mind is Yaşar Kemal." -Raymond Williams-
