Materialism and Narcissism: Oscar Wilde – The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891)

oiktozlu: Hümeyra Bilge Şen

“You have a marvelously beautiful face, Mr. Gray. Don’t frown. Beauty is a kind of genius, even greater than genius, because it needs no explanation. Beauty is one of the sublime phenomena of the earth, like sunlight, like springtime, like the reflection of that silver shell we call the moon in the dark waters. Its greatness cannot be questioned. Sovereignty is its divine right. She bestows princedoms on those who possess her. Smiling, huh? Well, you won’t smile when you lose your beauty” Devamını Oku…

Let It Go: Sevgili Arsız Ölüm Dirmit (2018)

oiktozlu: Hümeyra Bilge Şen

Dirmit is the theatre adaptation of Latife Tekin’s novel Dear Arsız Ölüm.

Before talking about the play Dirmit, I would like to talk about Nezaket Erden. Nezaket was born in Mersin on 16 July 1990. She spends her childhood in the village in a family that is so protective that it cannot be called conservative. She went to the mosque every summer, just like every child in the 90s did in the summer. Nezaket, who is at the mosque during the day, has to be at home in the evenings. After the evening prayer, girls cannot play on the street. The enthusiasm and the lack of enthusiasm she has to live with makes her a withdrawn child. She plays a lot at weddings with her family and dancing suddenly becomes her passion. While he sees dance as a means of expressing his feelings and derives great pleasure from it, she loses his enthusiasm during his secondary school years. This situation leads her to volleyball.

Open Your Heart’s Eye: Mine Söğüt – Beş Sevim Apartmanı – Rüya Tabirli Cinperi Yalanları (2003)

oiktozlu: Hümeyra Bilge Şen

I leave you with my review of Mine Söğüt’s first book “Beş Sevim Apartmanı – Rüya Tabirli Cinperi Yalanları”.

Although the book is the first novel of Söğüt, one of the new talents of Turkish literature, I can say that she has written a very impressive story.
