If you love poetry, you will love this book. In Ahmet Telli's poems, children, journeys, birds, rain, city, sadness are described so sincerely and warmly that from time to time you feel aches.
"If you go, this city will be destroyed, the birds will die too.
Where do the birds take shelter when it's evening?
"I've been biting my lips for days
I say at least if a thunderstorm comes a storm
If this dirty and sticky silence ends, I never go
Yet how quiet are the streets, this city and the whole earth
I seep like water on a tightrope into the secluded sky of the night
I'm walking away silently now, silently and without identity
Maybe I will come again, one day if anyone gives a voice to my voice..."

Tenth Village - Fakir Baykurt
Fakir Baykurt is one of the writers who best describes the Anatolian culture, village life and people of this country. In this book, a village teacher tries to do his duty properly, strives for girls to study, tries to instill the feelings of right, justice, unity and solidarity to the people wherever he goes, and is sent into exile in the face of politicians, bigots and influential landlords. It is told that he does not give up on walking. With its sometimes thought-provoking and sometimes entertaining dialogues, Tenth Village promises an immersive book pleasure. In addition to this, I highly recommend the other Fakir Baykurt books "Snakes Avenge" and "Irızca's Dirligi" that I read this year.

Book II. During World War II, in Hitler's Germany, a boy named Liesel unintentionally steals his first book and then continues to read and continues with his passion for books.

The Book Thief is a best-selling book that has been translated into more than thirty languages, has been translated into more than thirty languages, has also reached number one on Amazon and The New York Times bestseller lists and in many countries around the world, in addition to many awards.

The book was adapted into a movie by the director Brian Percival in 2013 with the same name, received very good reviews and won an Oscar (best soundtrack).
The Swanns' Side (In Search of Lost Time, #1) Marcel Proust
In Search of Lost Time (À la recherche du temps perdu) is Marcel Proust's most famous work of seven books. Proust started to write the book in 1909 and continued until his death (1922); The book was published in France between 1913 and 1927. In Search of Lost Time, it can be defined as Proust's childhood, youth and adult memories and autobiography. Considered among the best works of the twentieth century, and even in history, the work consists of approximately 3200 pages, 1.2 million words and 2000 characters. One of the reasons for the work, which is among the most difficult books to read, to get this title is the excess of the number of characters; In addition, 20th century French aristocracy and society, titles, places, historical events specific to France (especially the Dreyfus Incident, which is frequently discussed), art and theater activities can be counted among the factors that make it difficult for foreigners to read. In addition to all these, even the simplest things (for example, an ordinary door or a dress) require a lot of time and patience to read, as there are pages of descriptions. The Turkish edition of the book was done by Yapı Kredi Publishing, and the translation was by Roza Hakmen. First of all, it should be stated that the success of Hakmen, who translated this work, which even the French have difficulty in understanding, into Turkish, is beyond all appreciation. The book is sold in the market in two versions; One of them is in the form of 7 separate books, and in the other version, the whole work is collected in 2 volumes. The text of the 2-volume version is very small and difficult to read and carry because each book is approximately 1500 pages; I highly recommend staying away from this version (Note: It still looks good on the bookshelf 😁 ).

The Psychology of Evil - M. Scott Peck
An American psychiatrist, Dr. Morgan Scott Peck made his real fame with The Road Less Traveled (1978), one of the best-selling books published in our country. This book, whose original name is "People Of The Lie", has been translated into Turkish as "Psychology of Evil"; considering its content, it cannot be said that it is a wrong choice. The book, which was published with the translation of Göker Talay from Kuralsız Yayınları, consists of 216 pages. In this book, which he wrote as a result of his 20 years of experience in psychiatry, he tried to examine the concept of evil in depth by giving examples from the cases he studied. Peck, who tried to go down to the source of evil, analyze different types, and explain individual and group-based evils with examples in the book, which includes extremely interesting cases, did not hesitate to reveal his mistakes, and sincerely admitted that he could not solve some cases even after years of sessions. In the section of group-based evils, he narrated the famous MyLai Massacre in Vietnam in 1968. As a result, a highly understandable and fluent work emerged with the help of basic psychological terms and teachings through case studies and sessions.
