İnce Memed is a series of four epic novels written by the Turkish novelist Yaşar Kemal.
The novels follow the life of Memed, the only son of a poor widow who escapes from his village in the Anatolian landowners and transforms himself into a legendary, Robin Hood-like figure, championing the landless peasants of Anatolia in their struggle against their corrupt and greedy landowners.
İnce Memed (1955), the first novel in the tetralogy,[1] was Kemal's first published novel.
Subsequent volumes of the İnce Memed saga were published in 1969, 1984 and 1987.
