Rapture and Revolution
The articles contained in this volume collectively provide a critical overview of Turkish literature from its earliest phases in the sixth century well into the Republican period, including pieces detailing the literature of the Ottoman as well as those dealing with Europeanization. In so doing, the author illustrates the evolution of Turkish culture as reflected in the literary experience. Exploring specific genres and themes, several articles detail the development of drama from Karagoz and Orta oyunu to contemporary Western theatre, the propaganda functions of poetry, and the important place of folk literature. In addition, the volume focuses on some of the leading figures of Turkish literature, ranging from Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, Yunus Emre, and Süleyman the Magnificent, to Sait Faik and modern poets such as Nazim Hikmet, Orhan Veli Kanik, and Melih Cevdet Anday. Whether read as a whole or as individual articles, the book gives Western readers a broad and long overdue entry into the rich landscape of traditional and contemporary Turkish literature and culture. For scholars, it is an invaluable resource for courses on Turkish literature and culture.
Gönül Dostum
‘İnsan bazen durup temize çekmeli kendini… Heves edip hayal kırıklığına uğradığı şeyler için de teşekkür edebilmeli… Önce kendi kalbinin kapısını çalmalı ve en iyisini istemeli… Acele etmeden, telaş etmeden, sevmekten vazgeçmeden, göğsünün ortasındaki pencereyi açabilmeli… Ne geleni ne gideni gönlünde öyle çok da büyütmemeli… Son kez bakmalı geriye, neler neler yaşadım, kimler geldi kimler geçti diye… Nerede eksik kaldım, kimlere çok geldim ben diye… Yapın şimdi kendinize acı bir kahve. Geçmişe son kez bakarken dürüst olun kendinize. Kahve bahane olsun dertleşmemize. Gelecek için hayırlı yollar dileyelim birbirimize. Muhakkak sana iyi gelen bir şeyler bulacaksın bu kitabın içinde… Yalnız olmadığını bil istedim. Gönül Dostum hoş geldin…
