Description
We took refuge in God - Annotated Original Text Book Description: The fire burned during the day, it burned at night, the next day it was still burning. We thought there were no houses left in Istanbul. Because our surroundings were in ruins as far as the eye could see. Only the chimneys were visible, and smoke was billowing from everywhere. We don't know how many hours had passed, we hadn't eaten anything. There was bacon, cheese, butter, raisins and figs at home that our father had brought. All of them were burned, sir. “Since he is a writer who collects my childhood, adolescence and my age approaching forty in his books, I love him as if I loved a view of nature, apart from this or that thought... I don't know how old he is today. But if the occasional celebration of a great writer depends on his age, I think he has already reached that age anyway. And again, I think it is too late to celebrate a great artist who is the most read by the public.” Nâzım Hikmet Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar's great novel, Hakka Sığındık, in which he successfully combines detective and mystery elements, is the story of a helpless people caught in the middle of wars, fires, the Spanish flu epidemic and war opportunists. When we look carefully behind the author's lines that always smile and make us smile, we see that there is always a drama hidden there. In Hakka Sındık, this drama is not hidden, it confronts us in its truest form. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
