",The complex story of modern Turkiye, is a deeply thoughtful,
gripping and scrupulous book told in Sayarer's trademark style from
the saddle and the roadside", CAROLINE EDENBy a winner of the
Stanford Dolman Award for Travel Writing",Sayarer is a precise and
passionate writer . . .We need writers who will go all the way for
a story, and tell it with fire. Sayarer is a marvellous example",
HORATIO CLAREOn the eve of its centenary year and elections that
will shape the coming generations, Julian Emre Sayarer sets out to
cycle across Turkiye, from the Aegean coast to the Armenian border.
Meeting Turkish farmers and workers, Syrian refugees and Russians
avoiding conscription, the journey brings to life a living,
breathing, cultural tapestry of the place where Asia, Africa and
Europe converge.The result is a love letter to a country and its
neighbours - one that offers a clear-eyed view of Turkiye and its
place in a changing world. Yet the route is also marked by tragedy,
as Sayarer cycles along a major fault line just months before one
of the most devastating earthquakes in the region's modern history.
Always engaged with the big historical and political questions that
inform so much of his writing, Sayarer uses his bicycle and the
roadside encounters it allows to bring everything back to the human
level.At the end of his journey we are left with a deeper
understanding of the country, as well as the essential and
universal nature of political power, both in Turkiye and closer to
home.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
