Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt looks at spirituality in a humanist way. He thinks it is a source of wisdom and beauty that helps people in life. His style is special because he does not try to change the reader or strongly criticize beliefs. Instead, he invites people to discover empathy and understand feelings naturally.
There are conversations between a Jewish family and a Muslim shopkeeper in the story. The book talks about religion, morals, differences, and similarities between people.
I do not think it is a superficial book. I think it should be read again from time to time. I can recommend it.
I had not read such a different book for a long time, so I had mixed feelings while reading it.
This was the first book I read by Ayfer Tunç, and I really liked her writing style. Her language is simple, clear, and fluent, which makes the book easy to read. From the beginning, the reader can understand how the story may develop and possibly end.
The book focuses on the life of Aziz Bey and his emotional struggles. It explains how his past, traumas, and losses affect his personality and life. Aziz Bey is a stubborn man who avoids many things. He does not know how to truly live, and he is afraid of love. He also has difficulty showing his feelings. His relationship with his family is quite sad and touching.
However, I have to be honest. Towards the end of the book, I felt a little bored because the story became too heavy and emotional. Still, overall, I think it is a good and meaningful book.
I’m really happy that I read this book at this time of my life—it makes me feel good. I used to think it was only a children’s book. I saw it in my friends’ hands; it was even given as a gift to my younger brother. But I didn’t have one.
Now I have read it in English and I just finished it. Near the end, I started to like it more and I understood its message. Trying for something, not giving up, and working hard… On this way, a person learns to be with themselves, and this is a very nice feeling.
Sometimes we feel tired or hopeless—this is normal. I think feeling all these emotions is a very good thing for a person. And if we understand them and still do something, we are really lucky.
