Turkey: The Insane and the Melancholy
Autor Ece Temelkuran Traducere de Zeynep Beleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iul 2022
The result is a beautifully rendered account of the struggles, hopes and tragedies which make Turkey what it is today. Lamenting the commercialisation and authoritarianism which increasingly characterises Turkish society, Temelkuran sees hope in the Gezi Park protests of 2013, the electoral breakthrough of the progressive HDP party in 2015 and in the simple kindness of ordinary people.
Much more than either straightforward history or memoir, Turkey: the Insane the Melancholy is like sitting with a friendly stranger who, over raki or coffee, reveals the secrets of this rich and complex country - the historic "bridge" between east and west.

Recenzii
A passionate nonfiction work...for readers with a particular interest in Turkish politics, or a more general curiosity about polarized democratic societies with authoritarian patriarchal rulers.
Combining personal reflection, popular culture and smaller vignettes...an insightful and informative study of modern Turkey.
Temelkuran's book does a masterful job of capturing the mood of the country...Temelkuran shines in describing the ways that Erdogan has exploited and exacerbated the country's polarization...the piece de resistance is her portrait of the Gezi Park protests of 2013.
Temelkuran has written a primer for today's chaos, a masterclass in expecting the unexpected. A coup attempt in 2016 seems less surprising when viewed against the four coups of the last six decades, all of which Temelkuran weaves into her mosaic of political history.
A profoundly unconventional piece of political commentary. a courageous reminder of the role creativity and the arts have to play in the collective memory of political events.
A no-holds-barred insight into the psyche of a people.
An intimate book. Each page has the same, almost sensuous, feel present in the works of the poet Nazim Hikmet but absent from some decorated recent Turkish writers.
Through passionate and poetic prose, Temelkuran holds a mirror to Turkey.
Temelkuran excels at understanding how emotional narrative plays into politics.
At times playful, but more often polemical...Temelkuran seethes on the front line of Turkey's culture war.
Astute...a representative example of what an intelligent observer in Turkey thinks and feels about the past fifteen years.
What a brave woman! And what a fine, stylish and intelligent writer! Mixing sarcasm, anger, wit, and irony as well as hard facts, Ece Temelkuran has provided us with an informative and moving account of Turkey's seemingly inexorable drift into authoritarianism.
A vivid portrait of a nation in turmoil...a book that should be on the reading list of everyone who is sincerely interested in this troubled country.
Ece Temelkuran stares modern Turkey squarely in the eye to give a clear-sighted view of the crisis gripping the country. Temelkuran's writing delights in using the riches of language and the power of the image to create vivid insights into Turkey's turbulent past and present.
Part guide, part confidante, Ece Temelkuran brilliantly captures the neurosis at the heart of her country. An important book for anyone who wants to understand modern Turkey.
A wonderful book that gives a fascinating if frightening insight into the reasons why Turkey is becoming an authoritarian state. It gives an engrossing and intimate sense of the impact this development has on every aspect of life.
Ece Temelkuran is a patriot - no other word will do - who, with this book, has become one with those who have stood up throughout history to despotic and criminal leaders.
