In a city of shadows where the line between reality and imagination blurs, who holds the true power?

Sultan of the Garbage Pickers (Translated to Turkish) is an allegorical novel by Mehdi Mirkiaei set in a symbolic world teeming with cats, dogs, lions, and the heavy weight of inequality. At the center of this society are the "garbage pickers"—the invisible people ignored by the powerful. Amidst the chaos, a young protagonist emerges who sees the world through a different lens, embarking on a quiet but powerful journey of transformation.

Written in simple yet evocative prose, the story weaves deep social themes of justice, identity, and exclusion into a narrative suitable for young adults. Mirkiaei creates a thought-provoking universe where the most marginalized characters challenge the established order, inviting readers to question who the real "sultans" of society truly are.
