To Fly 'Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi'
Highly knowledgeable Ahmed Çelebi, whose heart had been fully locked in on the idea of flying over İstanbul, is a strange, hard-to-understand person from the 17th century who followed the footprints of Cevheri, who let himself fly in the sweet and lovely air, having jumped out of Nişapur Mosque with a pair of door leaves, and studied the moves of the flying birds like Cevheri himself.
His wife and bondmaid failed to make sense of this desire of him. Nor did the people around him. He continues to exchance opposing view with his nemesis Lagâri Hasan Çelebi, who shared his Ahmed’s wish to leave a trace behind.
