When Turkey is mentioned, raki is one of the first things that comes to mind. For a large geography, it is much more than a common "drink"; it permeates a vast area with its culture, etiquette, everyday equivalents, literature, and art.

In this book, we discover the stages this great cultural beverage has gone through from its birth to the present day, what raki tables signify, the customs, raki masters, raki making methods, the extensive literature and art that have developed around it, and much more. Moreover, it is a first in its field, just like the Raki Encyclopedia.

Das Buch vom Rakı, penned by Erdir Zat, was published by Overteam Publishing. Its high visual richness and its presentation of everything about raki with exceptional linguistic skill are other prominent features of the book.

Das Buch vom Rakı, which was previously available to readers in English and Turkish, was translated into German by Uwe Fiedeldei. It was edited by Jürgen Gottschlich and Dilek Zaptçıoğlu.

Das Buch vom Rakı has a mission to fill a significant gap in world literature. Erdir Zat's meticulous Turkish, Murat Belge's foreword, and a visual feast witnessing the history of raki await you…

The 500-year-old raki culture continues to rejuvenate over time, incorporating different colors and dynamic energy. While new voices like Hayko Cepkin and Gaye Su Akyol are added alongside classic names such as Hamiyet Yüceses and Müzeyyen Senar, new generation meyhanes (taverns) are also emerging alongside classic ones. Raki is no longer just a drink for middle-aged, paternalistic men; it is transforming into a culture where people of all kinds blend creativity, gusto, life energy, music, meze, and conversation. Raki white is now becoming a spectrum that embraces differences.

Anason İşleri was born with the aim of bringing this vibrant, revitalizing raki culture together with the language of design. They aimed to create products that touch daily life, tables, and homes, moving beyond the office environment and the digital world. Adopting the principle of transforming crisis into design, they produced anise-scented products. They have created innovative designs across a wide range, from raki glasses to meze plates, tablecloths to t-shirts, wallpapers to accessories. Anason İşleri aims to give raki culture a universal form by collaborating with innovative designers.
