They regard their disappointment in him as an act of betrayal on his part, and react violently.

Onur Atalay, okuru 1930’lar boyunca genç cumhuriyetin üzerinde yükseleceği “manevi” temelleri yeniden değerlendirmeye çağırıyor. Yazar, etrafında milletin inşa edileceği bir ortak anlatının oluşum sürecinde söylemlerin, kavramların ve simgelerin sahip olduğu özgül ağırlığı ve bunların o zamanın totaliter rejimleriyle nasıl bir etkileşim içerisinde şekillendiğini tartışıyor. Medeniyet, eskiden Tanrı’nın zihinlerde kapladığı yeri ele geçirmiş olabilir miydi? Bilim, kurucu kadro tarafından ülkeyi cennete çevirecek bir sihirli değnek olarak mı görülmekteydi?
