“From Beginning to End” is a novel by Turkish writer Hakan Günday, exploring complex and provocative questions about human existence, the meaning of life, violence, freedom, and death. Through Günday’s characteristically intense storytelling, the novel introduces readers to the darker sides of human nature, inner conflicts, and existential crises. The author invites us to reflect on how a person’s identity is shaped, what determines their choices, and to what extent they can free themselves from the influence of their environment and past. The title itself points to the central themes of the novel -the beginning and end of existence, the boundaries of human life, and the experiences that shape the journey between these two points.
