Adaptations

Aşk-ı Memnu was adapted by Halit Refiğ into a TV series in 1975, considered to be the first miniseries on Turkish television. Another TV series adaptation named Aşk-ı Memnu aired from 2008 to 2010. It takes place in the modern-day Istanbul instead of the novel's late 19th-century setting. Telemundo produced a Spanish adaptation of the serial, Pasión prohibida, which was set in Miami.

The novel was made into a 3-act play by Tarık Günersel, who also wrote a libretto for the Turkish composer Selman Ada leading to an opera.

gollark: Wait, what? How do *those* work?
gollark: I assume they're saying that if we become "enlightened" somehow we'll just coordinate loads better somehow and fix it?
gollark: It doesn't seem like a very actionable (or problematic, as you have been vague about it) problem.
