Emeric Pressburger
This text has been automatically translated from Turkish. Show Original
With this masterful "noir" thriller, Emeric Pressburger has created one of the most impressive works written on the Holocaust and the banality of evil. Piano tuner Karl Braun moves into his rented room in London in June 1965. At first glance, he seems like a kind-hearted gentleman who the reader can easily sympathize with, who is mourning the loss of his wife and child during the war, who understands music. This German, who gained the respect of his neighbors by saying that he left Germany in 1933 because of his political views, was actually a neurosurgeon and Nazi war criminal Dr. who was wanted for twenty years for crimes against humanity. He is none other than Otto Reitmüller. The tension gradually increases with the paranoia of the doctor, who lives in fear of being caught. Pressburger emphasizes the concepts of morality, responsibility and divine justice as he moves towards the shocking finale. A single article was published about Glass Pearls, which was introduced to readers in 1966, criticizing the revelation of Braun's true identity in the first chapter and thus missing the author's real issue. The novel was soon forgotten and took its place among the lost literary treasures. At that time, when war criminals were portrayed in literature by fitting into certain clichés, Pressburger's target was the character of Karl Braun, who brought together an ordinary person and a monster who committed gruesome crimes. As Hannah Arendt emphasized, the perpetrators of the Holocaust were not perverted or sadistic, but "the last criminals". It was to point out that they were “extremely human”.

It is an exciting story that I read with bated breath, explaining that the individual is solely responsible for his actions and, as mentioned at the end of the book, showing how individuals hiding behind any excuse such as religion, science, politics, etc. cause harm to humanity. Just when you start to sympathize with the protagonist, it reminds you how the lived facts come back to where they should be with the balance that should be in life. I definitely recommend it.

` "Acımasız", "hırslı", "bencil"miş, hadi ordan! Hırslı olmak ne zaman suç olmuştu? Neden "acımasız"dı? Schmiede kararlılığı acımasızlıkla karıştırıyordu. Peki neden "bencil"di? Anıların beyinde nasıl saklandığını keşfetmek için ön çalışmalar yapan, canlı insan beyni üzerinde gelişmiş cerrahi tekniğini kullanarak benzersiz deneyler yapan bir savaş suçlusu o. Yirmi yıl zaman aşımından affedileceği, unutulacağı günü bekler Karl Braun ve bu süre zarfında, sıradan bir yaşam sürmektedir. Savaş sırasında karısının ve çocuğunun yasını tutan, müzikten, tiyatrodan, kadın ruhundan anlayan ince ruhlu bir beyefendi gibi görünür. Okuyucu en başta bu özellikleriyle tanıyıp sempati bile duyabilir Karl Braun'a. Hatta endişeleri, kaçışları sırasında elinden gelse ona yardım etmek bile isteyebilir. Bu durum Emeric Pressburger'in ne kadar başarılı bir karakter yarattığını gösteriyor. Soykırım ve kötülüğün sıradanlığı üzerine yazılmış etkileyici metinlerden biri Cam İnciler. Sonuna doğru aradığım aksiyon da gelince çok severek okuduğum kitaplar arasında yerini aldı. Okuru yormayan su gibi çevirisi için sevgili

Nazi Savaş Suçlusu: Dr.Otto Reitmüller
This text has been automatically translated from Turkish. Show Original
In our novel, Glass Pearls, he is depicted as an artistic, self-indulgent man who introduced himself as a piano tuner in 1965 and rented a house in London under the pseudonym Karl Braun. Karl Braun's real identity is Dr. Otto Reitmüller, a neurosurgeon and war criminal who conducted horrific experiments on prisoners in Nazi concentration camps! Quote, p:57 "The concept of contrast reigned supreme in the universe." __________________________________ We read Karl Braun as a sensitive person who is interested in art, but we are looking for answers within ourselves to the questions of how such a character carries out murderous and gruesome experiments. Karl Braun, who makes escape plans and is also hungry for love and good will, lives with the paranoia of being caught. Although this part is quite exciting, you feel the tension deeply. The author's narration and simple language allow you to adapt to the work in a short time. I recommend this noir thriller-style genocide novel, especially to those interested in the Second World War. Enjoyable reading. İşbank Cultural Publications, Modern Classics Series-214,
