Pressestimmen

"This book is a little masterpiece" Robert Fox, Daily Telegraph

Kurzbeschreibung

A beautiful book 2. April 2002
Von Anita Kuehnel - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I was talked into buying this book by the owner of a book shop in the Sultan Ahmet, the old part of Istanbul. The back page had a guarantee that if I didn't like it, I could get my money back. What could I lose?

As it turns out, I couldn't put the book down. The way in which Mr. Orga's powerful use of words created visuals of old Istanbul and relevant cities was brilliant. The story became very three-dimensional right at the outset.

The account of Mr. Orga's family's survival during heart-wrenching times is inspiring; while the pain and suffering are so well conveyed, there is nothing gruesome about the book. The delicate way in which thoughts and events are described invokes the visuals and emotions the reader requires to feel the gravity of the situations; however, there is still a beauty of the human spirit that belies it all.

This is a story I would recommend to any reader who enjoys feeling a story, rather than just reading it; to readers whose inner world is affected, even if just a little bit, by experiencing a well-presented story.

This book is quite amazing! - A little gem! 8. Januar 2002
Von Andrew B. Obin - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In the age of postmodern attempts to describe what "real" families are like Orga offers a compelling look at the life of a Turkish family (hence the title I guess)during the period between 1912 and 1940. This is an autobiography, the writer who is not a native English speker wrote the book in English - I give it 4.5 stars only because I find the language to be somewhat lacking, at the same time the subject matter is simply breath-taking

The author who was born into a prosperous family describes his family descent into poverty during WWI and their struggle to survive after the war. the book also offers a glimpse at the transition in Turkey's culture in the aftermath of WWI and Kemalist revolution.

The book is very moving and the descriptions of the authors family are real the problems that people in the book are facing are also real offering a welcome respite from the made-up troubles of the families in current literature that strive to appear real.

The glory that was Istanbul 29. Juni 2000
Von Nikos Vatopoulos - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a delightful and deeply moving family saga spannining the years between 1910 and 1940 in Istanbul. It is kind of an autobiography, memoirs narrated from the eldest son of a once powerful Turkish bourgeois family. It stresses the tension of the transition from the Ottoman regime to that of the modern democracy invented by Kemal Ataturk. It is like a lament for the loss of the old order, not of the Ottoman one, because the author is a solid democrat, but of the old serenity as conceived by the bourgeois classes before 1918. The reader may enjoy some moments of excellent style in the traditional narrative literary form. The old Istanbul comes out as from an Edwardian scrap book. A non-Turkish reader will learn a lot for the clashes and the turmoil deep in the Turkish soul during and after the Great War. This is a masterpiece of low-key traditional literature, a piece of work that gives emphasis on the richness of sentiments. A must.

On the 10th of October, 1938, Kemal Atatürk died, and great was the sense of bereavement when we heard the news. &quote;

I thought how sad a thing is age; I wondered if that old, old man and all other old people felt this same sadness. What did they think when they saw their withered cheeks that were once smooth, their dimmed eyes that were once bright? Did they sometimes wish for death to carry them swiftly from the ancient bodies before they could see the further cruel encroachment Time would surely make? &quote;
