I like not knowing about some things. Yes. I like it. Because it feels comfortable to me. I take refuge in the comfort of saying "I don't know." I read the Elephant Man story for the first time in this book. But I didn't know it was a famous story and based on a true event. Absolutely. So I'm glad I read it without knowing anything about it. Because it didn't affect my feelings.
I did a simple reading and I have simple feelings. Not exaggerated. The Elephant Man was a human and never a creature. Monster or creature. He was human. What about the other people? They are prejudiced. As always. I think the real creatures are the other people. Because they wounded a wounded person again and again. That evil requires having an evil heart. Right? Clear... Apart from that. The book is very easy to read because when I didn't know a word, I looked up its meaning on the next page. It was very comfortable. I didn't use a dictionary. Besides, this was a first-level reading. Beginner level. I will watch the movie. Of course, I will watch it in English. Because I made a promise to Professor Akif. Just like he promised Fuat Sezgin.
I know I'll always be grateful to him. That's it. That's all I know.
I had a crazy idea today. I've been reading Harry Potter for 23 years. It's time I started reading it in English. That's real magic!

Sahil kənarında etiraf
Həm hekayənin daha da dərinləşməsi, həm də obrazların hisslərinə nəzər salması məni olduqca şad etdi. Bu səbəbdən əslində qiymətim 4.5☆-dur. Lakin burda yarım bal vermək olmur, təəssüf ki.
Obrazımız ölü bir bədənə keçən bir canlı olsa da, artıq insani dəyər və duyğuları anlamağa, iliklərində hiss etməyə başlayıb. Bunu son bölümdə görmək mümkündür. Yoshiki ilə danışanda sevgidən bəhs etməsi elə bunun ən böyük nümunəsidir. O bir hissə sahibdir ki, ona zərər verməkdən çəkinir və beləcə dağlara geri qayıtmaq istəyir. Biz də eynilə Hikaru kimi sevdiklərimiz üçün daha yaxşısı oldusun deyəv ya qorumaq məqsədli özümüzü uzaqlaşdırırıq. Bu nə qədər ağrılı bir prosses olsa da, bəzən edəcək başqa bir seçim şansı qalmır insanın əlində.
-"An' I— well, being with you has been so much fun... I might just be subatitute fer Hikaru but— you've done so much fer me. I love you, Yoshiki. I don't know what this feelin' is, if it's romantic love or platonic love. But no matter what, that's how I feel."—Hikaru

Ya da polymekhanos, polytropos, polytlas, polytlemon. Çilekeş, akıllı, kurnaz, gezgin, tanrısal Odysseus.
Odysseia’yı okumak İlyada’yı okumaktan çok daha kolaydı çünkü Odysseia çok daha akıcı, merak uyandırıcı, sürükleyici bir destandı. İlyada’da bir savaşı (galiba işsizlikten bir dolu erkeğin bir kadın için giriştiği savaş) okurken; Odysseia’da Odysseus’un evine, karısına ve oğluna kavuşmak için verdiği on yıllık mücadeleyi (aslında burada da bir nevi bir kadın için savaş çıkıyor) okuyoruz. Bu on yılda Odysseus sadece devlerle, tanrıların gazabıyla, canavarlarla, seirenlerle savaşmıyor; nefsiyle ve özlemiyle de savaşarak büyük bir sabır gösteriyor. Odysseus ne kadar tanrısal olarak anlatılsa da tüm hatalarını, kibrini, duygusallığını da okuyoruz, erkekler ağlamaz değil yani Odysseus bile ağlar, bu da okumasını kolaylaştıran bir yönü olabilir ki tanrısal sıfatıyla şahlandırılan bir varlığın bile kusursuz olamadığını görüyoruz. Toksik maskülenitenizi bir kenara bırakıp hüngür hüngür ağlayabilirsiniz, bu yolda en büyük destekçinizim.
Bambaşka bir dünyanın içine sokması ve hissettirdikleriyle bir roman, hayallerinizde canlanmasıyla bir film. Kitabın önsöz kısmında denildiği gibi: “Odysseia göze görüneniyle film, kafaya değineniyle romandır.” E Christopher Nolan sağ olsun, bizi mutlu edecektir. Filmini de sabırsızlıkla beklemekteyim.
Son olarak:
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Currently being the only reader and the first reviewer of this book is thrilling! Alright, let's start.
So, this book is literally a conspiracy theory itself.
Silas Orven is a man, a supposed time-traveller, who appeared in a private Facebook group in about 2024-2025 if I remember correctly. In that group he claimed that he came from the future to try and edit the timeline because humanity in his era of the future is having massive problems. If you can "edit" the timeline, it creates a new variable. Our current actions, if they are different, can create a new result and new future timeline. At first, people mocked him, trolled him, dismissed him completely. But when he began accurately predicting specific events, people were stunned and began taking him far more seriously. Some even started idolizing him and treating him like some kind of divine figure, even though he repeatedly said he wasn’t a prophet or anything divine and that no one should worship him. The guy became a sensation, basically.
So in 2025 he published this book and then completely disappeared. No one knows where he is. No one can identify him. His name doesn’t even show up in any global database. Some of his most devoted followers genuinely believe he went back to the future, where he came from.
I read the book, and it’s incredibly well-written. Some parts are genuinely disturbing; his descriptions of the future and the era he comes from are pretty terrifying. It's pretty dystopian. It’s impressive how he explains how time travel supposedly works, and he even touches on several taboo topics like Hitler, aliens and their origins, why they abduct humans, as well as God, the Bible, the Qur’an, who built the pyramids and why, whether humans will achieve eternal life, what happens after death, and so
Ruhumu gözardı etmə, ey yoldaş!
Bu volume çox da bir hadisə olmadı. Ancaq obrazların arasında olan əlaqələrə daha çox toxunmağa başladılar. Bu da hekayəni növbəti volume-larda kompleksləşdirməyə kömək edəcək.
Bu manganın getdikcə həyat və canlı olmaqla bağlı daha da çox düşündürməsi xoşuma gəldi. Ona görə bir neçə "quoto" paylaşacam sizinlə.
"If he wants his wounds to heal, they will heal, but he doesn't feel any pain. So he doesn't think of healing them. If it's a life threatening wound then of course it will be healed" — Bu hissədə, məncə, həyatdakı ağrı və əzablarımızın sadəcə bizim öz əməyimiz və fərqindəliyimizlə düzələcəyini yaxşı vurğulayıb mangaka. Bilirəm mən də bu çoxda bilinməyən bir şey deyil, ən azından xoşdur oxumaq.
"Life... being dead and being alive. Ain't they the same thing? What matters is to be living?" — Valla mənə də arada bu düşüncələr gəlir və özünəqəsd seçimini gözdən keçirirəm. Am js kiddin'
"What does it mean to have life? It is not like ya disappear from this world when you die. The form of yer soul just changes. It is not like you become seperated. They go through birth and death but souls won't be lost. They're always by your side." — Bu çox romantik bir baxış bucağıdır. Hər bir insan unudulmağa məhkumdur, əgər nəsə edən tarixi bir fiqur deyilsizsə. Hər kəs unudulur və önəmsənmir. Yaşayarkən belə bəzən bunu sizə qarşı edilir. Ruhunuzu gözardı etməyəcək şəxsləri tapmalısız.
In Amis’s famous novel, London Fields, the witty language is used and highlighted in the book repatedly. With the use of wit and pan (word play) Amis creates one of the most intelligent written novel ‘London Fields’. These uses of high elevated language and word plays also gives us the hints of postmodern fiction. As the novel is considered one of the best novel representing postmodernism, one can appreciate it due to the style that the novel is written, by means of wit and language. To give examples from the book;
-It was fixed. It was written. The murderer was not the murderer. But the murderee had always been a murderee.
The quote from Samson Young foreshadows that the real murderer is not the one we think, it will change. However the murderee ‘Nicola’ will always be the victim, not be affected by the inconstant murderer.
- I know what his poetry will be about. What poetry is always about. The cruelty of the poet’s mistress.
In this quote we can also sense the metaphor that is made to Nicola. Here Samson , as a writer, claims that the poets are writing poetry due to the relationship between their mistresses. It is known that Young also writes a novel about Nicola, creating the same plot with the poets he criticizes.
-I close my eyes, trying to see a way- how do writers dare do what they do ? – and there is just chaos. It seems to me that writing brings trouble with it, moral trouble, unexamined trouble. Even to the best.
-When God got mad he was a jealous God. He had other planets, thanks, and in better parts of the universe. He promised plague, famine mile-high tides, sound-speed winds and terror, ubiquitous and incessant terror, with blood flowing bridle deep. He threatened to make her old and keep her that way forever… Cross that firebreak and then cross that
