Mem and Zin (Mem û Zîn) is a Kurdish classic love story written
in 1692 and is considered to be the epopee of the Kurdish
literature. It is the most important work of Kurdish writer and
poet Ehmede Xani or Ahmad Khani) (1651-1707). Mem and Zin is
based on a true story. For Kurds Mem and Zin are symbols of the
Kurdish people and Kurdistan, which are separated and cannot
come together. |
