Amatör Seviyede KalmışEdebiyat
Böylesi geniş ve keyifli bir alanda çalışma kaleme alıp da bu kadar dar kapsamda bırakmayı araştırmacı kimliğe sahip hiç kimseye yakıştıramam. Eklenebilecek eserleri, isimleri kabaca en bilindikleriyle geçeyim de durumun vahameti anlaşılsın:
Edebiyat: Dickens ve Bronte Kardeşler (Great Expectations, Oliver Twist; Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre vb.), Oscar Wilde (Dorian Gray), Henry James (The Turn of the Screw, Washington Square vb.), R.L. Stevenson (Dr. Jekyll ve Mr. Hyde, Olalla), H.von Kleist (Locarno Dilencisi), Dino Buzzati...
Sinema: Roman Polanski (Rosemary's Baby, The Ninth Gate vb. uyarlamalar), Hitchcock (Rebecca, Suspicion vb.), Gaslight, The Innocents, The Haunting, Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Changeling, German Expressionism (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) ve takipçileri (Tim Burton: Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow vb.), Interview with the Vampire, The Crow vb. uyarlamalar.

Çizgi Roman: Batman, The Crow, Hellblazer (Constantine), Sandman, Alan Moore'dan From Hell vb. Penny Dreadful fanzinleri.
Kitapta Batman yerine Mandrake'nin yer alması klasik Türk çizgi roman okuru kafası. Bu kitabı eline alıp da bilgilenmeyi düşünecek genç arkadaşlarıma internetten araştırma yapmalarını tavsiye ediyorum, yarım saatte çok daha fazla bilgiye ulaşabilirler.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was an amazing read for me. It was a fairly quick read. I finished it in two days, but I never saw the ending coming, and it totally wrecked me and it is truly an amazing yet daunting novel that I will never forget. The author John Boyne did a masterful job of depicting the setting in such vivid detail and exposing the events in a manner that I felt a constant emotional pull as the story unfolded and impending doom lingered on the horizon.
This story is written from the perspective of a nine-year-old boy and Boyne did that really well. The voice was very innocent and convincing. The way he explained the surroundings and happenings throughout the book was very well written and made it easy to mentally paint a picture of it all.
Bruno is 9 years old. His father has a cool job, he's in charge of a lot of stuff. He runs a big place, with a huge wire fence, and a lot of people—men and boys—on the other side. They are skinny, they work hard, they are all very dirty, they are all wearing what looks like striped pajamas. There are soldiers in there, who poke at and laugh at the men and boys. Bruno has overheard his parents talking, and knows that his father's boss, “The Fury”, is the one who arranged for them to move to the new home. Bruno's older sister tells him that the place is called Out With.
Bruno is not allowed to approach the camp, or the fence. But, since he plans on becoming an explorer when he grows up, he decides to go exploring (wearing an old overcoat and boots, such as an explorer might wear). And on the other side of the fence he sees a speck. A dot. At tiny thing that, as he gets closer, reveals itself to be a boy. Just another boy, perhaps a boy for Bruno to play with.
The end of the story is, expectedly, tragic.
