Swiss Author Publishes Biography of His Father

May 31, 2017 – Adnan the Father, a new book by Prof. Dr. Murat Kunt, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Adnan the Father is about author Prof. Dr. Murat Kunt’s father, an exceptional man who deserves to be known. It discusses from his childhood to his last day how he developed his personality to be adored by everyone who knew him. He was also Kunt’s best friend and gave him a fantastic family education. They had much complicity, be it at school or on sports.

Kunt recognizes the decline of the classical family concept and the consequences of too many people without family education. The hope is that any father-to-be who will read it will attempt to mimic Adnan the father.
