DA (Seyyide Zehra Hüseyî'nin Hatıraları)
Irak-İran savaşını konu alan "Da Romanı"nın adını birçok kez duymuştum. Fakat romanın içeriği hakkında yeterince bilgiye sahip değildim. Yayın evi romanı düzeltmem için bana gönderdiğinde oldukça heyecanlandım. Kitabı kabataslak şöyle bir okuyunca, bu kitabın yaşanmış bir tarihi tüm detaylarıyla ortaya koyan nadide eserlerden biri olduğunu fark ettim. Savaşın yaşandığı ülkelerdeki kadınların ve çocukların yaşadıkları kıyımları hepimiz az çok tahmin edebiliriz. "Da Romanı", yaşanan bu psikolojik ve sosyolojik tabloyu biz okurlara birebir sunuyor. Bu romanı okuduktan sonra günümüz savaşlarının toplu katliamdan başka bir şey olmadığı bilinci bende bir kez daha yerleşti. Neredeyse her bir sayfasında savaşın gerçek yüzünü ortaya koyan farklı bir anı anlatılmış. Onun için "Da Romanı"; okurunu sıkmayan, sürükleyici, tarihe ışık tutan ve kendi alanında eşsiz bir eserdir.

The Reckoning of Pluralism
The Turkish Republic was founded simultaneously on the ideal of universal citizenship and on acts of extraordinary exclusionary violence. Today, nearly a century later, the claims of minority communities and the politics of pluralism continue to ignite explosive debate. The Reckoning of Pluralism centers on the case of Turkey's Alevi community, a sizeable Muslim minority in a Sunni majority state. Alevis have seen their loyalty to the state questioned and experienced sectarian hostility, and yet their community is also championed by state ideologues as bearers of the nation's folkloric heritage. Kabir Tambar offers a critical appraisal of the tensions of democratic pluralism. Rather than por...
Confessions of a British Spy

Love in the Days of Rebellion
The second instalment in the Ottoman Quartet—the masterful saga of Turkish history by Ahmet Altan—follows the vast and vivid cast of characters introduced in the first volume of the series, Like A Sword Wound. By weaving together tortured love affairs, political intrigue, power struggles, and social upheavals, the novel offers a powerful and vivid tableau of the crisis of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. The second instalment opens with the attempted suicide of Hikmet Bey, the son of the sultan's personal physician. The reason for his extreme gesture is, to forget the extremely beautiful and proud Mehpare Hanim, his wife and the cause of all his suffering. While Hikmet recov...
Crazy As We Are
Most, if not all, of the popularly read versions of Rumi are not direct translations - they are translations of translations. Dr. Nevit Ergin is a scholar specializing in Sufic literature and Rumi, and is fluent in Rumi’s original language of Farsi, or Persian as it is also known. In Crazy As We Are he presents 128 previously untranslated quatrains direct from the Farsi. Dr. Nevit Ergin is a retired surgeon who practiced for more than thirty years. He has been a student of Sufism for more than fifty years, and has published sixteen volumes of Rumi's Divan-i-Kebir. He lives in San Mateo, California.
