Yorum / Review / Rezension:
Dört yüz yıl önce kaleme alınmış bu eser, Japon zihniyetini son derece etkileyici bir şekilde aktarıyor. Özellikle savaş sırasında bağırmanın gerekliliğine dair yaptığı açıklamalar, manga ve anime kültüründe sıkça karşılaşılan saldırı isimlerinin ardındaki mantığı benim için çok daha anlaşılır hâle getirdi. Elbette savaş ve dövüş konusundaki tavsiyelerin büyük kısmını günümüzde birebir uygulamak mümkün değil. Buna rağmen hayata, insanlara ve kişinin kendi duruşuna dair sunduğu bakış açısı gerçekten eşsiz. Japon kültürüne ilgi duyan herkesin mutlaka okuması gereken eserlerden biri.
Written nearly four hundred years ago, this work provides a fascinating insight into the Japanese
"Bekle Beni" is the last book of Zülfü Livaneli. Previously I read "Rüzgarlar Hep Gençtir". After this book, I understand the opinion of the author very well. Actually, the author gives us his life through the characters of the book. Selim and Leyla's lives pass with many challenges. Selim has problems in the country. He is a thoughtful, philosophical person. Because of his opinions about the government, he is punished in prison. Therefore, he has to leave his family for a long time. In his country, different ideas are against the government. Freedom is restricted. If you want to be free, you should be silent about injustices. However, Selim takes all of the risks and leaves his family, and the most important thing, which is "his family". I can understand Livaneli gives us messages about his life and his challenges. Because he lived the same thing because of his opinions. I like this book because it sheds light on Turkey in the 1960s.

Far from the Madding Crowd was more than a love story for me. It is about love, pride and how our choices. I enjoyed the life book and Bathsheba. Also seeing how her relationships changed over time.
I loved the countryside setting and the quiet atmosphere of the book. The story moves slowly but it fits the mood I believe. As some characters frustrated me this also made them feel more real.
Compared to Pride and Prejudice, which I enjoyed more, Hardy's novel felt more serious. It lacks Austen's lively conversations, but both books are those days' NETFLIX dramas.
Not every chapter worked for me, but the book left me a calm and beautiful sense of life. The life I really admire to have.
Mrs. Rosie and the Priest” is the first book in the Penguin Little Black Classics series, which includes three stories selected from Boccaccio’s “Decameron”. Even though it was written in the 14th century, guess which characters aren’t passive? Of course, the women. It was truly a pleasure to read these four stories, which blend both traditional and modern family structures.
A Critical Review of Humankind
Rutger Bregman’s book Humankind is one of the books that questions negative ideas about human nature and makes readers think. For many years, many people believed that humans are naturally selfish, bad, and only care about themselves. However, Bregman does not agree with this idea. According to him, human nature is not as dark as people think. Instead, people are more willing to help each other, understand others’ feelings, and do good things. In the book, the author supports these ideas with many examples from wars, psychology experiments, history, and biology. One of the best parts of the book is that it gives hope about humanity. Still, when I finished the book, I did not only feel admiration. On one side, I was happy to read it because it made me think differently. On the other side, some of the author’s ideas felt too optimistic to me. Because of this, the book was both interesting and questionable for me.
One of the strongest parts of the book is that it makes people question ideas about human nature that many accept without thinking. Today, we often see violence, murder, wars, and fights on television, social media, and in the news. After some time, people start to believe that the world is full of bad people. At this point, Bregman asks an important question: If humans were really bad by nature, how could societies survive for so many years? A big part of human history was shaped by helping each other, working together, and surviving together. From this side, the writer’s ideas are important and meaningful.
His ideas against the belief that humans are naturally wild are especially interesting. Today, when someone behaves badly, people sometimes say, “Did you grow up in a cave?” However, Bregman says that hunter-gatherer societies were not as violent as many
Tristana starts like a love story, but it’s really about a young woman who wants to live her own life. Tristana lives with Don Lope, an older man who takes care of her, but over time she begins to feel trapped and wants independence.
The book doesn’t rely on big events. It focuses more on relationships, choices, and emotions. None of the characters are completely good or bad, which makes the story feel more realistic.
It’s a short and easy read. Calm, simple and a quiet story about freedom, growing up, and finding your own path.
