SESSİZ HARFLER
Bu kitap sadece; bir dönem ecdadımızın Osmanlıca okuyup yazdıklarını ‘tatlı bir hatıra’ olarak gelecek nesillere aktarmak için yapılmadı. Duvarın öte yakasında nelerin kaldığını, hangi acıların, sevinçlerin nasıl bir sessizliğe gömüldüğünü; edebiyatın o diriltici, umut aşılayıcı diliyle yoklamak, sorgulamak, hatırlamak ve hatırlatmak öncelikliydi bizim için. Çünkü sessizlik, nisyan, terk ediliş ancak sanat marifetiyle ‘dil’lendirilebilir. Başta tarih olmak üzere, bilimler elde kalanlar üzerinde çalışırken, sanat/edebiyat belki de daha çok, ele gelmeyenleri ifade edebilmenin peşindedir. Gittikçe sessizleşen bu dünyayı yeniden seslendirmek için, arkadaşlar altı ay boyunca ciddi bir emek sarf ettiler. ‘Belirlenmiş bir konuda’ yazmanın zorluğunu bilirim. Bu zorluğu göğüsleyip projemize destek veren arkadaşlara müteşekkirim; yüreklerine, kalemlerine sağlık. Birlikte okumanın, birlikte düşünmenin, birlikte yazmanın bereketine her zaman inandım. Bu sırat başkaca nasıl geçilebilir ki? CEMAL ŞAKAR
I've Learned Some Things
I've Learned Some Things allows English-language readers the rare opportunity to experience the work of Ataol Behramoğlu, one of Turkey's most celebrated poets. The sixty-six poems in this collection span the author's extraordinary career and are stunning examples of the intense emotional quality of his work. Behramoğlu celebrates the rich fabric of everyday life by exploring both personal and social struggles, sometimes employing a whimsical tone. Walter G. Andrews's skillful translation conveys the vibrancy of Behramoğlu's work to an English-language audience, and this bilingual edition allows Turkish-language readers to follow the original text.

Jennie Gerhardt
Regarded as one of Dreiser's best novels, Jennie Gerhardt is here recaptured as it was originally written, restoring it to its complete, unexpurgated form.
Churchill
"Each chapter of this book provides an essential portrait of Churchill at the height of his powers. In addition to vividly depicting his relationships with Stalin, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and other world leaders, Lukacs reflects on Churchill's ability to foresee the coming of World War II and the Cold War; he weighs Churchill's stature as a historian looking backward at the conflicts of which he was so much a part; and he examines the often contradictory ways Churchill has been perceived by critics and admirers alike. The last chapter is a powerful and deeply moving evocation of the three days Lukacs spent in London attending Churchill's funeral in 1965, and it offers a final assessment of Churchill's place in history through the prism of the varied individuals who came to honor him after his death. In Churchill: Visionary. Statesman. Historian., Luckacs sets forth the essence of this towering figure with consummate mastery."--BOOK JACKET.

Kanuni i Lekë Dukagjinit
"THE CODE OF LEKE DUKAGJINI is a great cultural treasure, comparable to the chapters of The Old Testament." "It provides deep insights into the ancient society of the Albanians, their somber dignity & their magnificent sense of honor."--David Binder, The New York Times. "This legal system was established & passed on to future generations as a common law by Leke Dukagjini, a co-fighter of the legendary Skenderbeg." "The 'Besa' or the 'word of honor' as stated in THE CODE OF LEKE DUKAGJINI which means peace & protection to those whom it is given, has become today an important fighting tool in the political struggle of Kosovo's Albanians against Serb oppression."--Victor Meier, The Frankfurter Allgemeine Seitung. "The legal Code of the Albanians known by them for a thousand years, is one of the most original in the history of mankind. Among the basic pillars of this code are the equality of men before the code & the non-abuse of justice." "The entire essence of the legal code of the Albanians is an unparalleled rigorous respect for this basic principle: non-violation of the dignity of a man- his honor, home, & life."--Ismail Kadare, Albanian writer.

Spring Flowers, Spring Frost
"Other strange things occur. Mysterious events that are two thousand years, two centuries, or even two years old reemerge in daily life. The marriage of a girl and a snake is not just a legend but a news item - a cyclical event recurring every few hundred years that is as much a part of the modern as of the ancient world.".
