About this listen

The Nameless is a short narrative that explores the modern individual's crisis of meaning, alienation, and inner transformation within a timeless narrative universe. Set in the present tense, the story follows three young characters—Hazal, Yusuf, and Mert—as they break away from their ordinary urban lives and find themselves in an unfamiliar world, where they undergo a personal transformation alongside a nameless man.

This new world evokes the Middle Ages, yet it exists outside of clearly defined time. In this place without technology, urgency, or consumption, the young characters first experience peace and tranquility. But over time, this tranquility gives way to restlessness and a questioning of belonging. Though they are far from the chaos of modern life, they realize that they belong nowhere.

Without falling into a didactic tone, the story conveys the characters' transformation through inner observations and atmospheric storytelling. The nameless figure does not guide through explanation or wisdom, but through simplicity—serving as a quiet catalyst for change. Centering on the principle of “know thyself,” the narrative also reveals the silent inner conflicts that arise after transformation.

The Nameless balances allegorical and realistic storytelling to delve into the existential loneliness of the modern individual, the tension between serenity and boredom, and the quest for meaning. Especially resonant with young listeners and the emotional state of the contemporary individual, this book offers a brief but lingering journey.
