The Rose of Stamboul

About the show

Achmed Bey hopes to reform Turkish society but does not want to embarrass his politician father, so he publishes his ideas in French under the pseudonym André Léry. His book becomes popular among Turkish women. When his marriage to Kondja Gül is arranged, she confesses on their wedding night that she cannot love him because she has fallen for André Léry, not knowing the author is Achmed.
