Dergah Publishing

Dergah Publishing (Dergâh Yayınları) is a Turkish publishing house established in 1976, building on a decade of publishing experience from Hareket Yayınları, which was founded in 1966 under the leadership of Ezel Erverdi to disseminate the ideas of Nurettin Topçu. The name "Dergâh" was chosen for its broader meaning of a threshold, a door, or a place of refuge and gathering, rather than its narrower religious connotation. The company was incorporated in March 1977. Over the decades, Dergah Publishing has become a key player in Turkey's literary and intellectual scene, publishing works in Turkish literature, Islamic thought, Sufism, and translations of Eastern and Western classics. It operates bookstores across Turkey and continues to be guided by an idealistic team, now led by a younger generation. The publisher's catalog includes works by notable authors such as Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Mehmet Kaplan, and Mircea Eliade, and it remains committed to building a comprehensive library of cultural and intellectual heritage.

Dergah Publishing traces its origins to 1966, when Hareket magazine and Hareket Yayınları were founded under the leadership of Ezel Erverdi to promote the ideas of Nurettin Topçu. The primary goal was to publish books that reflected a thousand years of historical accumulation and cultural experience. Over the next decade, Dergâh bookstores were opened in various parts of Turkey. In 1976, with ten years of publishing experience, Dergâh Yayınları was established, and in March 1977, it was incorporated. An idealistic team worked for years under Ezel Erverdi's leadership, eventually passing the torch to a younger generation of "Dergâh" members. The post-1980 transformations in intellectual and literary production in Turkey and the world also influenced publishing. Many prominent publishers emerged in the post-coup environment, seeking to create intellectual and artistic grounds. Dergah Publishing translated postmodern theories, narratives, and literary movements from both Western and Eastern literature, addressing a significant gap in the Turkish publishing world's familiarity with both. The publisher continues to build a library of cultural and intellectual works, maintaining its commitment to bridging Eastern and Western thought.
