Tanpinar creates a portrait of a society by evoking local colour and eccentric characters and satirizing human foibles, but the grander achievement here (despite the challenges of translating colloquialisms and cultural peculilarities) is having the reader recognize their own world in early-20th c. Turkey. Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü bitti. Tutunamayanlar’ı okuduktan sonra Türk Edebiyatı’nda bundan daha iyi bir kitap olamayacağı görüşüne kapılmıştım ama Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü beni yanıltmayı başardı. Şu an için iki kitap da benim için zirvede aynı noktada yer alıyor. Kitap hakkında fazla yorum yapmayacağım çünkü kitabı ne kadar övsem az ve benim üzerimde bu aralar fazlasıyla Oblomovluk var. Kitabın tek bir eksik noktası var bence, bu eksik nokta da şu; kitapta Seyit Lütfullah ve Aristidi Efendi karakterlerine çok az yer verilmiş. Bu karakterleri biraz daha okumak isterdim. an absurdist, comic take on modernist society in general and the Turkish rush into modernism in particular. A group of Istanbul bourgeois citizens are anchored in their traditional society and are comfortable with its idiosyncrasies but when the anchor is forcibly hauled up and they are cast off into modernity, they can only drift helplessly, with no understanding of wind or current. I read this in the penguin modern classics version which comes with an introduction that is more a polemic against modernisation than an exploration of the novel. 22 May 2016 Verhaal vol met absurde gebeurtenissen, zeer bizarre personages en sprookjesachtige passages. Om dit op overtuigende wijze vol te houden moet een schrijver van goeden huize zijn. Ik moest regelmatig denken aan "Het Martyrium" van Canetti die daar ook schitterend in slaagde. Kafkaësk is de manier waarop de bureaucratie beschreven wordt. Het verhaal speelt in Istanboel tegen de achtergrond van de beginnende secularisatie van Turkije en openstelling naar het Westen. Het is eveneens het levensverhaal van het hoofdpersonage Hayri Irdal. Een soort bildungsroman, waarin hij na elkaar enkele "leermeesters" heeft. Op ironische wijze wordt deze zoektocht naar de gemiste vader psychoanalytisch geduid. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

" A literary discovery: an uproarious tragicomedy of modernization, in its first-ever English translation. Perhaps the greatest Turkish novel of the twentieth century, being discovered around the world only now, more than fifty years after its first publication, The Time Regulation Institute is an antic, freewheeling send-up of the modern bureaucratic state. At its center is Hayri Irdal, an infectiously charming antihero who becomes entangled with an eccentric cast of characters-a television mystic, a pharmacist who dabbles in alchemy, a dignitary from the lost Ottoman Empire, a "clock whisperer"-at the Time Regulation Institute, a vast organization that employs a hilariously intricate system of fines for the purpose of changing all the clocks in Turkey to Western time. Recounted in sessions with his psychoanalyst, the story of Hayri Irdal's absurdist misadventures plays out as a brilliant allegory of the collision of tradition and modernity, of East and West, infused with a poignant blend of hope for the promise of modernity and nostalgia for a simpler time"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
