İngilizcem fena değildir ama İngilizce yazılmış bir kitabı baştan sona okumaya cesaret edememiştim bu yaşıma kadar. Okuyacağım ilk İngilizce kitabı, en sevdiğim yazarın vefatından iki gün sonra, doğum gününde okuyacakmışım meğer. Huzur içinde uyu Sophie Kinsella.
“What Does It Feel Like” yarı otobiyografik bir roman. Baş karakter, çok satar yazar Eve’e glioblastoma grade 4 tanısı konur. En ölümcül ve agresif beyin tümörü. Kinsella kitapta hayatının, teşhis konmasından sonraki dönemini anlatıyor. Mükemmel bir eşi ve beş çocuğu vardı, bu hastalık sürecinde yaşadıkları çok hüzünlü. En küçük çocuğu daha 10 yaşında.
Sophie Kinsella’nın kitaplarını daha önce okumuş olanlar bilirler, onun kitapları hep mutlu sonla biter… Kitapta bununla ilgili bir anısı var:
“I was once doing a bookshop event,” Eve says reminiscently, “and the interviewer asked, ‘Would you ever try writing something different?’ I answered, ‘Maybe I’ll write a book with a sad ending’—just as a joke, really—and a woman in the front row shrieked ‘No!’ in total panic. It was very funny.”Nick laughs. “Your readers love happy endings.”“Of course they do. I love happy endings myself. So I’ve invented lots of them. But now here’s the irony: I can’t invent a real-life happy ending for myself.”

Son dönemde sanki yeni sor(u)gulamalar bulmuş gibi kibirle Allaha ve Dinine karşı itirazlar yükseliyor. Ve muhattab olarak bu soruyu bu konularin ehline değil de tabiri caizse dünkü çocuklara yoneltiyorlar.
Siz sanmayın ki 1400 yıllık Islam tarihinde bu sorular daha önce sorulmadı.
Bakınız bu kitabi okuyan cogusunun çıkartabilecegi bir mevzu bu.
Tarihte bu sorular ilk kez sorulmuyor. Ve Altay Cem Meric in Peygamberligin ispati'nda vurgu yaptığı gibi itirazin da metodolojisinin olması gerektiği،gözlerden kaçıyor maalesef.
Benim gibi İslami temelinden bilmeyenler de bu sorularla panik oluyor.
No panic. Sakince dinimizi temelinden öğrensek. Hatta yeni bir din ogreniyormusuz gibi ozumseyerek ogrensek panik yapılacak bir şeyin olmadığını fark edeceğiz.
Rabbim Islami bulmak icin sorgulayan, bulduktan sonra da Rabbimizin emirlerine teslim olan muslumanlardan eylesin.
The narrative is set in 2073, sixty years after a devastating epidemic known as the Red Death has wiped out much of the world's population. James Smith, who survived the outbreak, resides in San Francisco with his grandsons Edwin, Hoo-Hoo, and Hare-Lip. These youngsters, living in a sparsely populated world, lack advanced cognitive abilities and language skills. Edwin asks his grandfather, referred to as "Granser," to recount the events of the scarlet plague.
Granser recounts his pre-plague life as an English professor. In 2013, society was dominated by wealthy elites, and a swift-spreading Scarlet Plague caused its victims' skin to turn red and limbs to go numb, leading to death within half an hour. Despite efforts, no cure was found, and even those attempting to find one fell victim. Granser's grandsons challenge his notion of "germs" causing the disease, as they're invisible.
Granser witnesses the first victim during his class, triggering panic and societal collapse. He survives for three years alone with animals, then returns to find a new society formed by survivors. However, they're divided into tribes and don't value his memories of the past. Granser strives to pass on his knowledge, but his grandsons dismiss his stories as unbelievable.
Ruhumu iliklerime kadar kurutan bir kitabı neden okuyup bitirmeye uğraştım hiç bilmiyorum.
Basit bir dille yazılmış bir kitabı bitirmek ne kadar zor olabilir? Ah inanın epeyce zordu.
Kurguyu sevmedim, hadi karakterleri seveyim dedim ama o da yok!! Yazar kimse sevilmesin diye saçma ne varsa yazmış da yazmış.
James, nam-i diğer Hook kış uykusundan yeni uyanmış biri. Offf aklıma geldikçe çıldırıyorum. Kadını boğazlamak nedir, hadi manyaksınız bundan zevk aldınız duvara zincirlemek nedir
Ve tüm bunlar olurken bizim ezik kızımız Wendy için her şey çok yerinde. Asla yanlış bir şey yok. Boğazlanabilir, zincirlenebilir işkenceye maruz kalabilir.
No panic no heyecan
Kitabın fıkra gibi olan kısmında (Koskoca mafyacık adamımız (!) etten püften bir nedenle Wendy'i suçladığı kısım) adeta hönkürdüm
Sahi dostum yazar kaç yaşındaydı beş mi
Asıl bomba son sayfalarda ama onuda yazıp sinirlerimi daha fazla zıplatmayayım.
Not: Gereksiz ve duygusuzca yazılmış yetişkin içerik bilgisini de eklemek istiyorum
Intikam diye başlayan fıkra gibi biten bir kitabı tabiki önermiyorum
OKUMAYIN ve OKUTMAYIN

Effects of “Marabar Caves” on modern man.
Throughout the years, human beings have developed new movements and ideas with the effects of wars, technological developments and mass changes. The beginning of modernism, which is the movement of the 20th century, is a period in which people question their place and purpose the most and that essential changes take place. Having become acquainted with colonization, capitalism, the theory of evolution, Einstein's theory of relativity and many other new concepts, mankind lost his purpose and faith with the effects of the Great War and atomic bomb. As a result of all this, man as an emotional being became a non-spiritual being. The rationality and aimlessness of modern man, especially western man, caused psychological problems and feeling lonely. Spiritual loneliness, alienation, feeling of emptiness and becoming indifference to surroundings are the basic problems of modern men. Although I am a person who believes in the power of knowledge, I can't ignore the spiritual positive effects of religions on people. On the other part of the world, people living in a way that depends on their traditions, live more moderately and conscientiously than England or other western countries. It is possible to say that the writers and poets of this period touched upon the existential crisis of modern men. In the A passage to India, besides the themes of racism and colonization, the themes of loneliness and spiritual collapse of the modern man are discussed. Marabar Caves is an excellent setting added to the novel by E. M. Forster to reflect these inner conflicts of man. Thinking as a reflection of human nature's incomprehensible sides, Caves' mysterious atmosphere makes them more complex to analyze.
First of all, in the beginning of the novel, Mrs. Moore and Adela are planning to see
