Produktinformationen "The Sea-Crossed Fisherman"
A tale of greed hatred and decay from Turkey's legendary novelist Yashar Kemal Yashar Kemal was an unsurpassed storyteller who brings to life a world of staggering violence and hallucinatory beauty. Kemal's books delve deeply into the entrenched social and historical conflicts that scar the Middle East. At the same time scents and sounds vistas of mountain and stream and field rise up from the pages of his books with primitive force. In a sudden chance encounter in a coffee-house in a fishing village near Istanbul Zeynel Celik shoots a local gangster. Only one man intervenes the village outcast Fisher Selim and in doing so inadvertently transfers the blame for the murder onto himself. From this one simple act Zeynel becomes a legendary outlaw in the minds of the people whereas Fisher Selim passionate about the sea and haunted by a lost love is cast as an eccentric oddball. Each is pursued by his own paranoia memories of the past and hopes for the future until their paths cross once again on Selim's boat and their obsessions come to a resolution. Reflective and lyrical the novel offers insight into the Turkish mentality while drawing universally valid conclusions and manages to be both brutally savage and deeply humane.
