Translation of: Çocuklugun soguk geceleri. - "The narrator of Tezer Özlü's novel is between lovers. She is in and out of psychiatric wards, where she is forced to undergo electroshock treatments. She is between Berlin and Paris. She returns to Istanbul, in search of freedom, happiness, and new love. Set across the rambling orchards of a childhood in the Turkish provinces and the smoke-filled cafes of European capitals, Cold Nights of Childhood offers a sensual, unflinching portrayal of a woman's sexual encounters and psychological struggle, staging a clash between unbridled feminine desire and repressive, patriarchal society. Originally published in 1980, six years before her death at 43, Cold Nights of Childhood cemented Tezer Özlü's status as one of Turkey's most beloved writers. A classic that deserves to stand alongside The Bell Jar and Jean Rhys's Good Morning, Midnight, Cold Nights of Childhood is a powerfully vivid, disorienting, and bittersweet novel about the determined embrace of life in all its complexity and confusion, translated into English here for the first time by Maureen Freely, with an introduction by Aysegül Savas.".

Paperback. Condition: New. A writer finds solitude and salvation tracing the lives and deaths of three of her literary lights in a haunted and lyrical travelogue from NBCC Award-winner Tezer Ozlu. An unnamed writer embarks on an obsessive journey through Europe, drawn to the gravesites of her literary idols - Cesare Pavese, Italo Svevo, Franz Kafka - putting her life, her writing, and her politics in conversation with theirs.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Como una estrella fugaz. Como un meteoro de verano. Breve, incandescente, intensa y cegadora fue la vida de Tezer Özlu? También su obra, que muy pronto se convirtió en literatura de culto para toda una generación, con una prosa que resplandece, atrapa y emociona. A partir de los dieciocho años, escapando de una infancia y una juventud en las que se sintió cautiva, esta mujer libre, acechada por la locura, prendada de la vida y de los hombres, vivió en París, Ancara, Estambul, Berlín y Zúrich, donde murió de cáncer. Desplazamientos centelleantes que seguían la estela de sus caprichos, sus lecturas, sus amores o su incesante necesidad de emancipación y descubrimiento. Sin embargo, una sombra amenaza todos sus instantes, la alegría del sol, del mar, de los primeros besos y las primeras aventuras. Diagnosticada maniacodepresiva, es internada en varias ocasiones y sometida a tratamientos de electroshock y neurolépticos. Otro resplandor, esa electricidad que atraviesa la cabeza, y contra el que tantas veces se rebeló? En este prodigioso texto repasa su infancia, la incomprensión, el exilio, su desprecio por el conformismo y las mentiras, la humillación de los hospitales y la violencia política. También sus anhelos y sus momentos de exultante felicidad. Con un lenguaje fulgurante, descarnado y franco, evoca con la misma naturalidad su pasión por la literatura y el despertar de su sexualidad. Esta auto-ficción adelantada a su tiempo ilumina, aunque sea brevemente ?lo que se tarda en recorrer sus páginas?, algunos de los aspectos más inexplorados del alma humana. Como Sylvia Plath, como Antonin Artaud, como Christine Lavant o como su compatriota Sait Faik, Özlu? destila su apabullante virtuosismo de la verdad íntima de lo vivido. Y redime su destino gracias a la búsqueda de un amor que alcance el infinito y transporte la vida hacia el futuro, de un destello que irradie y temple las frías noches de su infancia. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
