Böyle Gelmiş Böyle Gitmez #2
Yokuşun Başı
Dünyaların en iyi babası benim babamdır
Düşmandır düşüncelerimiz
Dosttur ellerimiz
Dünyada tek elini öptüğüm
Babamdır
Kırkını geçtin adam olmadın der
Başım önümde dinlerim
Önünde tek baş eğdiğim babamdır
Sabahlara dek Kur'an okur
Anamın ruhuna
İnanır ona kavuşacağına
Bana gavur der
Diş bilemeden
Dünyada tek bağışladığı ben
Tek bağışladığım odur.

About the author
Aziz Nesin
387 books1,003 followersAziz Nesin was a Turkish humorist and author of more than 100 books.
Nesin was born in 1915 on Heybeliada, one of the Princes' Islands of Istanbul, in the days of the Ottoman Empire. After serving as a career officer for several years, he became the editor of a series of satirical periodicals with a socialist slant. He was jailed several times and placed under surveillance by the National Security Service (MAH in Turkish) for his political views. Among the incriminating pieces of evidence they found against him during his military service was his theft and sale for 35 Lira of two goats intended for his company—a violation of clause 131/2 of the Military Penal Code. One 98-year-old former MAH officer named Neşet Güriş alleged that Nesin was in fact a MAH member, but this has been disputed
Nesin provided a strong indictment of the oppression and brutalization of the common man. He satirized bureaucracy and exposed economic inequities in stories that effectively combine local color and universal truths. Aziz Nesin has been presented with numerous awards in Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria and the former Soviet Union. His works have been translated into over thirty languages. During latter parts of his life he was said to be the only Turkish author who made a living only out of his earnings from his books.
On 6 June 1956, he married a coworker from the Akbaba magazine, Meral Çelen.
In 1972, he founded the Nesin Foundation. The purpose of the Nesin Foundation is to take, each year, four poor and destitute children into the Foundation's home and provide every necessity - shelter, education and training, starting from elementary school - until they complete high school, a trade school, or until they acquire a vocation. Aziz Nesin has donated, gratis, to the Nesin Foundation his copyrights in their entirety for all his works in Turkey or other countries, including all of his published books, all plays to be staged, all copyrights for films, and all his works performed or used in radio or television.
Aziz Nesin was a political activist. After the 1980 military coup led by Kenan Evren, the intelligentsia was oppressed. Aziz Nesin led a number of intellectuals to take a stand against the military government, by issuing the Petition of Intellectuals (Turkish: Aydınlar Dilekçesi).
He championed free speech, especially the right to criticize Islam without compromise. In early 1990s he started a translation of Salman Rushdie's controversial novel, The Satanic Verses. This made him a target for radical Islamist organizations, who were gaining popularity throughout Turkey. On July 2, 1993 while attending a mostly Alevi cultural festival in the central Anatolian city of Sivas a mob organized by radical Islamists gathered around the Madimak Hotel, where the festival attendants were accommodated, calling for Sharia and death to infidels. After hours of siege, the mob set the hotel on fire. After flames engulfed several lower floors of the hotel, firetrucks managed to get close, and Aziz Nesin and many guests of the hotel escaped. However, 37 people were killed. This event, also known as the Sivas massacre, was seen as a major assault on free speech and human rights in Turkey, and it deepened the rift between religious- and secular-minded people.
He devoted his last years to fighting ignorance and religious fundamentalism.
Aziz Nesin died on July 6 1995 due to a heart attack, after a book signing event in Çeşme, İzmir. After his death, his body was buried in an unknown location in the land of Nesin Foundation without any ceremony, as suggested by his will.

"Gericiler, aralarında söyleşip yaydıkları, ama dahaca yazmaya yüreklenemedikleri Atatürk aleyhindeki sözleri, benim yazılarım aracılığıyla yaymaya fırsat bulmuşlardır. Onlar korkak, yüreksiz, ikiyüzlüdürler. Yıkıcı amaçlarına ulaşmak için düşmanı oldukları bir yazarın yazılarını bile camilerde okuyacak denli fırsatçıdırlar." Sf 19-20
"Ama bir utancın saçma olduğunu düşünerek o utancı yenmeye çalışmak da ayrı bir tedirginlik değil midir? Bir yanlış düşünceyi yenmiş olmak, yenilen düşüncenin kafada yerleşmiş olması demektir." Sf 217
"İnsanın başına gelen ve gelebilecek olan hiçbişeyin, insan yaşamının hiçbir değişiminin felaket olmadığını çocuklarımıza öğretmeliyiz. Okuldan çıkarılmak da felaket değildir. Yaşamın gerçek felaketlerini, toplumun düzensizliği yüzünden biz kendimiz, kendimize hazırlamaktayız." sf 343
"Bellekte iz bırakmayan yaşantı, bence gerçek bir yaşantı değildir." sf 372
"Bellek, anıların konservesidir; orda anılar hiç yaşlanıp bozulmadan oldukları gibi durular." sf 397

Tarih kitaplarından öğrenemeyeceğiniz dönem gerçeklerini tüm çıplaklığıyla ve Aziz Nesin samimiyetiyle bulabileceğiniz, bazen güldüren bazen ağlatan bir kitap. Aziz Nesin’e sonsuz teşekkürler.
“Bir uyanışın başlangıcındaydım. İlk kez beni yatılı okulda okutanın, karnımı doyuranın, beni giydirip kuşatanın hükümet değil, halk olduğunu düşündüm. Yalnız bizleri değil hükümeti de, yoksul köylüsünü candarma dayağı zoruyla angaryaya sokan hükümeti de besleyenin, yaşatanın yine bu halk olduğunu düşündüm. Öyleyse ben kime borçluydum? Hükümete değil! Borcum halkımaydı! Yediğim her lokmayı, bunu bana sağlayan halkıma ödemek zorundaydım. ‘
Sf 509

Aziz Nesin'in ortaokul çağlarını anlattığı özyaşamöyküsü. Anılar çoğunlukla Kuleli Askeri Ortaokulu yıllarına dayanıyor, sınıf arkadaşları ve öğretmenleri üzerine yoğunlaşıyor. Kendisi de bazı hassas konulara değinmekle değinmemek arasında kaldığını fakat o dönem kendisi ile aynı şeyleri yaşayan arkadaşlarının da teşviki ile (bazılarının yapma demesine rağmen) dönem arkadaşları arasında yaygın olan eşcinsellik ve "oğlancılık" eğilimlerine yer veriyor. Bu anıları okumak gerçekleri duymanın ağırlığını insana yaşatıyor. Genel olarak cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında paçasını kurtarmaya çalışan bir yoksul çocuğun mücadelesi hem sempatik hem de hüzünlü.
