| Kitap Tanıtımı | It is late 1990ies in Istanbul. Duna, a young Istanbulian highschool teacher, wakes up one morning to the sound of fighter jets, later to find a group of soldiers at his door. A civil war has erupted and the country is being mobilized. Thus begins Duna`s journey to an uncertain future. Meanwhile, during Duna`s absence from his neighborhood Kuzguncuk, a small village by the shores of Bosphorus that has long been a melting pot for Jewish, Armenian, Greek and Turkish communities, a mysterious childhood is shattered. Mediterranean Waltz explores the painful similarities between civil wars and wars inside a participant`s mind, while on the other hand, questions the delicate details of love-sex and desire-passion through a romantic triangle. Mediterranean Waltz is the bestselling novel of Buket Uzuner, one of the most prominent and acclaimed writers of contemporary Turkish Literature. Her work has been translated in four languages and won The Novel Prize of Istanbul University in 1998. "This is the very first novel in Turkish Literature that is written by a woman writer on the subject of civil war. Mediterranean Waltz will make an outstanding impact on both political and literary circles" - Cumhuriyet Book Magazine (Arka Kapak) |
