5/5 Stars (%89/100)
I quickly read the English version when it was first released, and now, almost a year and a half later, the book is available in Turkish.
Since I had read and loved the book before, reading it again was easy for me, but I also caught a few details I had missed the first time. Having read the original, I had the chance to evaluate the Turkish translation, which turned out to be quite successful. The illustrations by Alan Lee in the book are also magnificent.
Structurally, the book is similar to Beren and Lúthien. You get to see the story of the Fall of Gondolin several times within the book. Christopher Tolkien included all the different versions of the story, from the earliest to the latest. You can see the old version of the text, the version in The Sketch of the Mythology, the version in Quenta Noldorinwa, and the final version. I particularly enjoyed seeing the differences between the earliest and latest versions of the story. It's interesting to see how many names Tolkien changed over time. The descriptions are fantastic, and the story and characters are highly engaging. I've always loved Gondolin and its Elves in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. I'm especially fascinated by Turgon, the city's founder, and the part they played in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. In short, this is a beautiful book that no Tolkien fan should miss.

First of all I must say that while I do not accept all the teachings presented, I recognize that there are parts that are useful for living a harmonious and balanced life.
"The Art of Peace" is a book by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of the Japanese martial art Aikido.
The book is a collection of his philosophical teachings and insights, focusing on the principles of harmony, non-violence, and spiritual enlightenment.
"The Art of Peace" provides readers with a guide to applying these principles not just in martial arts, but in everyday life, promoting a mindset of peace, compassion, and unity.
İnsan zihninin bilinmeyen bölgelerinde yaşamak için başka bir keşif macerası.
Dianetics'in kurucusu L. Ron Hubbard, insan zihninin sınırsız yeteneklere sahip olduğu söylenir, ancak insan ruhunu olumsuz şekillerde etkileyen acı verici anıların travmatik izleri olan "engramlar" ile sınırlıdır.
Hubbard'a göre engramlar bireylerdeki duygusal, davranışsal ve fiziksel bozukluklardan sorumludur. Bu engramları temizlemek ve böylece insan ruhunun sınırsız potansiyelini ortaya çıkarmak için bir yöntem olarak Dianetics'i geliştirdiği söyleniyor. Ona göre, Dianetik tekniklerini kullanarak, zihinsel berraklık ve optimal refah durumuna ulaşmak mümkün olacaktır.
Dianetics, vücuttaki engramları tespit edebildiği söylenen "odyometre" adı verilen bir cihazın kullanımı da dahil olmak üzere zihni "koşulsuzlaştırma" için çeşitli teknikler sunar. Dianetik uygulayıcıları, travmatik anıları "temizlemek" ve böylece onları zihinden atmak için yeniden yaşamaya teşvik edilir.

Another adventure of discovery to live in unknown regions of the human mind.
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Dianetics, the human mind is said to have unlimited capabilities, but is limited by "engrams", which are traumatic imprints of painful memories that affect the human psyche in negative ways.
According to Hubbard, engrams are responsible for emotional, behavioral and physical disorders in individuals. He is said to have developed Dianetics as a method to clear these engrams and thereby unlock the limitless potential of the human spirit. According to him, by using the techniques of Dianetics, it would be possible to reach a state of mental clarity and optimal well-being.
Dianetics offers various techniques for "deconditioning" the mind, including
Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., Ph.D., was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy.
His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Originally published in 1946 as Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.
Read this book, be sure to read it. At least what you get out of it is that you realize that people are still able to go on living in their worst mental and physical conditions. That the meaning of our life is beyond failure and easy giving up, and that there are people who touch the darkest part of this world and still believe in its beauty.
Bu kitabın İngilizcesini okuduğum için yorumumu o dilde yapacağım. Kusuruma bakmayın lütfen...
An objective account and analysis of the rise and fall of Polly Peck International once the darling of the London Stock Exchange in 80's as the best performing stock of the decade and its founder Asil Nadir. The author complemented his impeccable writing style by providing useful supplementary info about economy, commerce, finance, politics, business management and how the City operates based on his solid background and experience. Revised and expanded edition published in 93 covers Nadir's escape from UK to Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in May 93 after almost 3 years of his unsuccessful trial under bail by the inefficient British legal system then which involved the unorthodox and mostly unsuccessful attempts without necessary evidence by the newly founded (in 87) Serious Fraud Office SFO to convict him for fraud and corruption...
PS: First published in 1991 as "The Sultan of Berkeley Square: Asil Nadir and the Thatcher Years", the correct title of the 1993 edition of this book is "ASIL NADIR: FUGITIVE FROM INJUSTICE?" (ISBN 0-330-33155-8) where "IN" of injustice is in italics...
