Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'A deeply moving memoir. We owe Ahmet Altan a tremendous debt for the strength he has shown in sharing his story with us' Jon McGregor Written from the confines of a prison cell in Istanbul, one of Turkey's greatest living novelists reflects upon hope, despair and the light literature can bring to even the darkest places. The destiny I put down in my novel has become mine. I am now under arrest like the hero I created years ago. I await the decision that will determine my future, just as he awaited his. I am unaware of my destiny, which has perhaps already been decided, just as he was unaware of his. I suffer the pathetic torment of profound helplessness, just as he did. Like a cursed oracle, I foresaw my future years ago not knowing that it was my own. Confined in a cell four metres long, imprisoned on absurd, Kafkaesque charges, novelist Ahmet Altan was one of many writers persecuted by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's oppressive regime. In this extraordinary memoir, written from his prison cell, Altan reflects upon his sentence, on a life whittled down to a courtyard covered by bars, and on the hope and solace a writer's mind can provide, even in the darkest places. Longlisted for the 2019 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 'It is something special to visit Ahmet Altan in his prison, and to leave with an unexpected feeling of elation, motivated by the sheer, towering greatness of the human spirit' Philippe Sands 'Read this - it will explain why you ever read anything, why anyone ever writes' AL Kennedy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 315 | Sprache: Türkisch | Produktart: Bücher | Huzursuz bir kus olmasaydi yürek, belki cok daha uzun sürerdi ömrümüz ama daha az yasardik. Bunca cinayet islenmezdi o zaman, bu kadar cok roman yazilmazdi. Efendilik taslayanlar tepemizden hic eksilmese de kimin sevinciyle sevinip kimin kahrini hayatinin harci yapacagina kendince karar vermis bir yüregin cirpinisi kolay dinmiyor. Arzu dedigimiz sey bu kadar asi, bu denli basina buyruk olmasa, tazecikken bizi döktükleri o kaliplarin icinde katilasip kalirdik herhalde. Tasmazdik, akmazdik, kanamazdik. Yüregimizin kime varabilecegine hükmetmeyi kendine hak görenlerin gölgesinde, bu halin garabetini pek de sorgulamadan yasayip gidiyoruz cogumuz. Kerameti kendi kutsallarindan menkl bir düzen, kiminle ic ice gecebilecegi konusunda kurallar koyuyor yetiskin bedenlerimize. Susuyoruz. Bir norm var kafalarinda onlarin, bir normal var; maazallah anormal sayilmayalim diye uymasak da uyar gibi yaptigimiz bir sekil. Derken gün geliyor.Hepimiz okuduklarimizla degisiriz ve o normlarin disina tasariz. Yasemin Congar bir edebiyat metni olan denemelerinde Michael Haneke, Jean Genet, Damien Hirst, Lawrence Durell, Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, Mo Yan, Salman Rushdie, Alan Turing, John Irving, Will Self, David Hockney, Richard Sennett, Siri Hustvedt, Denis Lehane, Claire Messud ve daha nice yaraticinin izinden kendini kuruyor bir kez daha.…
