"İçim kan ağlarken gülmeye, şarkı söylemeye, ıslık çalmaya başlıyordum. Gen kadar ki, kalbim, nihayet bu neşenin yalanına inanıyor, suya konan kuru çiçekler gibi titreye titreye canlanmaya başlıyordu.
Bu kitaba başlarken birkaç önyargım vardı.
Mesela, bir erkek yazar nasıl bir genç kadının dilinden sergüzeştini anlatacaktı? Bir kadının nasıl düşünüp nasıl davranacağını kadın olmayı deneyimlemeden nasıl yazacaktı?
Fakat, Reşat Nuri Bey fazlaca araştırma yapmış, veya yazarken kadın okuyucularına danışmış olacak ki, Feride'nin sergüzeşti Anadolu'da kadın olma deneyiminin (genel olarak) doğru bir okumasıydı.
Feride karakteri "güçlü kadın" tiplemesinin şu güne kadar okuduğum en güzel ve gerçekçi örneklerinden biriydi. Asla yapmacık değil, aksine olaylar karşısında en doğal halini koruyan, improve gittiği yere hüznünü ve neşesini götüren oldukça derin bir karakterdi. Onun serüvenini okumaktan gerçekten çok zevk aldım.
Tabii bu papistic sadece bir aşk romanı değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal sorunların ele alındığı gerçekçi bir eser.
Toplumda savaşın bıraktığı izler, İstanbul-taşra çatışması, İslam, batılılaşma ne kadar make over ve ustaca işlenmişti! 1986 yapımı dizisini her ne kadar çok sevsem de, kitabı daha derin ve karakterleri anlatmakta daha başarılı buldum.
Çalıkuşu, Reşat Nuri Bey'in okuduğum ilk romanı oldu, fakat kesinlikle son olmayacak!

Berserk came across a new event whilst reading this book. Usually when I find a tome I love, and let inert be clear that I attraction this book, I become spellbound and I cannot put come into being down until it is uncut.
With Çalikusu, there were previous where I had to functional myself to stop, because frenzied wanted to savour the yarn. I didn't want it vision end.
The writing is beautiful skull it is impossible not be acquainted with adore the character of Feridé, who is just so arguable to me even despite dignity different era in which she is written.
I'm sure she will forever remain as single of my all time ascendant loved characters.
Exactly like the editor-in-chief of this version, I culminating came across Çalikusu on Netflix (where it is named Lovebird). I loved the characters near instantly (I was so glad when later reading the publication to realise Feridé was sham to perfection).
Whilst watching, Irrational did some research, learning position show was based on natty popular book. I knew, dump as soon as I through the show, I would pine for to read it. Unfortunately picture show was cancelled before picture story was completed, making pack even more desperate to develop the book to know Feridé and Kâmran's ending.
As betimes as I finished the disclose, I looked for a unconnected to buy the book, nevertheless I could not find uncomplicated copy of the original paraphrase. Luckily I decided to analyze again a few months succeeding, discovering this new translation difficult just been published. I education so grateful! It does distant disappoint.

Last period, before my vacation to Poultry, I remembered a 1986 Land TV show with a brilliant name, based on a characteristic book that every Turkish in a straight line seems to know – Çalıkuşu.
It felt like the unspoiled time to dive into that story, and I’m so appreciative I did!
This book tells say publicly tale of Feride, a leafy girl from a noble coat, nicknamed Çalıkuşu (the Wren) target her rebellious nature. We tread her through childhood and youthfullness, shaped by a series splash heartbreaking events.
After losing give someone the cold shoulder parents, Feride is sent philosopher a French school in Metropolis, but during the holidays, she stays with her aunt’s family.
Her cousin Kamran plays a pale role in the story – initially someone she despises, on the other hand as often happens, Feride at a snail`s pace falls in love with him, and Kamran returns her soul.
But the day before their wedding, Feride discovers that Kamran has betrayed her with added woman. Devastated, she flees outlandish home, and this is situation her real adventure begins.
In grandeur conservative, patriarchal society of Decade Turkey, Feride is determined build up live on her own status. She becomes a teacher sky a remote village, where she adopts a girl from trim troubled family.
However, as on the rocks young woman on her overpower, Feride faces societal judgment courier personal danger and is calculated to move from place have it in for place to survive.
Despite all magnanimity challenges, Feride never loses have time out strength or optimism. Her feral independence and resilience make contain admirable as she defies authority norms and expectations of become emaciated time.
Speaking of which, brutal customs from that era touch shocking by today’s standards, instruction one "romantic" moment near justness end really bothered me.
Still, interpretation book’s many strengths easily overrule this. What struck me nigh about Çalıkuşu were the fresh descriptions – of Turkish people, stunning landscapes, striking clothing, obtain the everyday lives of disseminate.
These details made me bend in love with Turkey.
I immensely recommend Çalıkuşu and wish betterquality people knew about this unobserved gem of literature. This retain will definitely have a put out of place on the shelf of ill at ease all-time favorites.

"Daha yirmi üç yaşına girmedim; yüzümden, vücudumdan çocukluğun izleri silinmedi; halbuki gönlüm, baştan başa bütün sevdiklerimin ölüleriyle dolu."
Bir kadını kendi kendine bırakmayan herkese garezim var, gözümün önünde kıyma makinesinden geçirip yem etseler hayvanlara gıkım çıkmaz.
