Madonna in a Fur Coat (Turkish: Kürk Mantolu Madonna) is a novel written by Turkish author Sabahattin Ali. It was published in 1943.
The book tells the story of Raif, who is living a purposeless life until he meets a woman named Maria Puder. Initially, the book was criticized by many critics because "it was just another love story",[1] but it became a bestseller in time, and is usually recalled among the best works in Turkish literature.[2] It was translated to English by Maureen Freely in 2016, making Sabahattin Ali one of the two Turkish authors to be included in Penguin Classics,[3][4] alongside Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar with his book, The Time Regulation Institute.
