Extrait : Fırat Hrant Dink (en arménien : Հրանդ Տինք) (né le 15 septembre 1954 à Malatya et mort le 19 janvier 2007 à Istanbul) est un journaliste et un écrivain turc d'origine arménienne. Il a été assassiné par un nationaliste turc de 17 ans dans le quartier d'Osmanbey à Istanbul, devant les locaux de son journal bilingue Agos. 100 000 personnes manifestent à Istanbul lors des funérailles de Hrant Dink, scandant « Nous sommes tous des Hrant Dink, nous sommes tous arméniens » en turc, arménien et kurde. Hrant Dink a été le fondateur, le directeur de publication et le chroniqueur en chef de l'hebdomadaire Agos, un journal édité à Istanbul en arménien et en turc. Il a également écrit pour les journaux nationaux Zaman et Birgün. Né à Malatya le 15 septembre 1954 d'une famille modeste, Dink est arrivé à Istanbul à l'âge de 7 ans où il a passé son enfance dans des orphelinats. Toute sa scolarité a eu lieu dans les écoles arméniennes et il a été diplômé du lycée Surp Haç à Üsküdar. Il est diplômé en zoologie de l'université d'Istanbul et il a continué à étudier dans la même université la philosophie. Il a épousé Rakel Dink en 1977, qui a grandi également en orphelinat, avec laquelle il a eu deux filles (Delal et Séra) et un fils (Arat). Il fonda Agos en 1996, et devint peu à peu le leader d'opinion de la communauté arménienne de Turquie. En octobre 2005, Dink, défendu par l'avocate et écrivaine Fethiye Çetin, a été condamné à six mois de prison avec sursis pour un article affirmant que les Arméniens ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Fatih Terim, Commendatore OSSI, (born 4 September 1953) is one of the most successful football players and managers of Turkey. Terim is regarded as a hard-line motivator whose no-nonsense approach was honed during 11 years as a rugged defender with Galatasaray. His nickname is İmparator, which is the Turkish word for "Emperor". This nickname is also widely used in Italy in his reference. In a survey conducted by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) in 80 countries, Fatih Terim was placed among the best eight managers in the world. He received his award at a ceremony held in Rothenburg, Germany on January 8, 2001. Terim was nominated to be named UEFA manager of the year 2008. Eurosport named Terim as the best coach at Euro 2008 . In December 2008, Terim was ranked the 7th best football manager in the world by World Soccer Magazine. Despite his successful record as the manager of Turkey in UEFA Euro 2008, Terim resigned from his post in October 2009 upon the failure of Turkish national team's qualification for FIFA World Cup 2010.

This is nonfiction commentary. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: They Burn the Thistles, Teneke, Memed, My Hawk, Ince Memed Tetralogy. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: They Burn the Thistles - Ince Memed II (Turkish: ) is a 1969 novel by Yaar Kemal. It was Kemal's second novel in his İnce Memed tetralogy. The first Ince Memed novel won the Varlik prize for that year (Turkey's highest literary prize) and earned Kemal a national reputation. In 1961, the book was translated into English by Edouard Roditi, thus gaining Kemal his first exposure to English-speaking readers. In 1984, the novel was freely adapted by Peter Ustinov into a film (also known as The Lion and the Hawk). Until the publication of Orhan Pamuk's My Name is Red and Snow, İnce Memed was the most well-known Turkish novel published after World War II. The plot of "They Burn the Thistles" is much the same as in the first novel "Memed, My Hawk", where Memed, a young boy from a village in Anatolia is abused and beaten by the villainous Abdi Agha, the local landowner. Having endured great cruelty towards himself and his mother, he finally escapes with his beloved, a girl named Hatche. Abdi Agha catches up with the young couple, but only manages to capture Hatche, while Memed is able to avoid his pursuers and runs into the mountains whereupon he joins a band of brigands and exacts revenge against his old adversary. The book received international acclaim and fame and was translated to several languages. Editorial Reviews Review The sequence of events in the novel could not be more excitingIt is like a myth, but the mythic quality is given concreteness in the distinct personalities of the villagersThis novel is a worthy successor to Memed, My Hawk and ought to send readers swiftly to The Legend of the Thousand Bulls, Anatol...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21891914 ...

The unending story
I readily confess that I've only read this, the third volume of a 3 part series.So, of course, I might have missed a lot of the nuances I could have picked up if I'd read things in order.However, it is the author's responsibility to make each book understandable in itself, not dependent on prior volumes.But don't anticipate my comments---I am not going to say that this novel is incomprehensible.THE UNDYING GRASS is a part of Yashar Kemal's giant body of work and in it we see many of the same elements at work: sympathetic treatment of Turkey's working people, depiction of feudal injustice, the tragic results of ignorance, man's struggle with nature, and the natural world of the Chukurova, that semi-legendary (as presented in Kemal's work) area in southern Anatolia where most of his stories take place.The time, as usual, is a little vague.In the background are American jet planes taking off from Incirlik airbase, Mercedes Benz', mention of Red China and even Fidel Castro---so it has to be the 1960s--- but nothing whatsoever of the modern world penetrates the lives of our characters, who seem stuck in the early Ataturk era.

What I will say is that every author has a bad day, maybe makes an unfortunate collection of choices.Perhaps this novel represents one of those times.It is too long, it is too slow.I felt that having developed these characters over two previous novels, Kemal did not want to drop them, but did not know what to do with them.Their thoughts, feelings, and actions are repeated over and over.Memedik wants to kill the Muhtar, but how many shadows does he fear, how many slashes of his willow knife in the air do we see ?Old Meryemdje survives in the village by herself, wishing for company, plotting to catch a rooster while Omer the orphan has been sent to kill her for reasons the reader of this third volume cannot readily understand.Long Ali regrets leaving his mother back in the mountain village---he regrets and regrets and regrets, but does nothing.Tashbash, the martyr-saint, very Christ-like, it seemed to me, goes up and down in villagers' estimation like a yo-yo. Points are not only made, they are hammered home. Everything is drawn out; steel green flies gather countless times, the saint is beaten and then revered and then beaten again, clouds of mosquitoes plague the cotton-picking villagers in the endless plain again and again, eagles (hope or fate or the possibility of redemption) soar overhead in almost every chapter.No, I'm sorry.Kemal has written some excellent novels and I've reviewed them too.This one should have been cut by a lot.It isn't one of his best.

Truly Wonderful
A fitting and devastating finale to his trilogy. Kemal explores in "The Wind from the Plain" series the goodness, evil, and drive for self-destruction that is immanent in all humanity. In his analysis andhilarious tales of man's constant need for deification and iconoclasm,Kemal has shown that if anyone deserves to be one of the greatest writersfrom Turkey and the Middle East, he is the one. ...
