Ganbatte

What renders life meaningful from beginning to end is to keep all stories that are inherent to it as heirlooms and locate them in their proper places so that they will leave their marks on the future. Ganbatte, which starts out based on the fact that every life on earth has actually been nourished by a strong past, explains the value of never giving up and believing in something. Author Melis Candan Mumcular, who tracked her beloved country’s growth and transformation step by step and in a way that is concurrent with her own family history, reminds us that the future is determined not only by the current time and the present moment but also by the actions and behaviors of yesterday. Not giving up, grabbing life with both hands, producing and transforming at every moment of it becomes possible only when you believe in what makes you yourself. In between the pages of Ganbatte, you will come across a unique, window-on-the-world adventure of a woman who goes on an excursion into her own magical memories without deviating from the trail of a great belief and hope, as well as finding many pieces that relate to you. The paintings, which are the author's original brush strokes representing excerpts from the moments she witnessed, are accompanied by invaluable photos from the family archive and a very special music collection.
