“I had to pull myself together. Life before death was my right too, wasn’t it? Love after you have gone… Maybe that’s the reason. So I can forget about you and have a decent love; but no, I couldn’t. Once again, I couldn’t pull it off. Not that I couldn’t forget you. They just wouldn’t let me. You know who they are. Just because you left, doesn’t mean the country changed. Just because you died, the monsters who wrote our death sentences didn’t die along with you!” In one of Istanbul’s most lively streets one night, a drunk, well-dressed young man slips in front of a closed store with its shutters pulled down. Although the body can not move, his mind was still alive. E...

Geçmişine vâkıf olanların gelecek tasavvurunun daha sağlam olacağı düşüncesinden hareketle çocuklarımıza Osmanlıca öğretelim, diyenler ve bunu lüzumsuz bir çaba olarak görenler… Bütün bu tartışmalar bir yana bugün artık Osmanlıca öğrenmek isteyenlerin sayısı her geçen gün artıyor. Böylece medeniyetimizle aramıza örülen duvarlar da yavaş yavaş yıkılıyor. Keşkül dergisi 25. sayısında,...
