Sinbad’ın Gece Yolculukları
“Macaristan’ın Proust’u.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES
Modern Macar edebiyatının en önemli kalemlerinden Gyula Krúdy’nin Binbir Gece Masalları’nın kahramanı Sindbad’ı başkahramanı yaptığı, hayal dünyasıyla hafızanın birleşimi denebilecek öykülerinde Sindbad aşk idealinin peşinde bir gezgindir. Melankolik bir şehvet düşkünü de olsa, baştan çıkardığı ve sevdiği kadınlar kendi arzusunun bir izdüşümü müdür yoksa kendisi mi o kadınların bir eseridir, bilinmez. Budapeşte’nin kalabalık sokaklarından, hiçbir şeyin değişmediği taşra kasabalarına kadar, bu gezgin Lothario gittiği her yerde eski aşklarıyla karşılaşır: Tuna kıyısında, bir zamanlar kur yaptığı pencerelerin altında, Eros ve Thanatos’un buluştuğu kiliselerde ve mezarlıklarda…
Yalanlar, kötülükler, her türlü döneklikler affedilir; ve aşk, uğruna sebat etmeye, ağlamaya ve yaşamaya değer tek şey olarak yeniden tasdik edilir. Yankılar ve çağrışımlarla dolu bu derin kitap, ölmekte olan Habsburg İmparatorluğu’na erotik bir ağıt.

About the author
Gyula Krúdy
131 books57 followersGyula Krúdy was a Hungarian writer and journalist.
Gyula Krúdy was born in Nyíregyháza, Hungary. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a maid working for the aristocratic Krúdy family. His parents did not marry until Gyula was 17 years old. In his teens, Gyula published newspaper pieces and began writing short stories. Although his father wanted him to become a lawyer, Gyula worked as an editor at a newspaper for several years, then moved to Budapest. He was disinherited, but supported his wife (also a writer) and children through the publication of two collections of short stories. Sinbad's Youth, published in 1911, proved a success, and Krudy used the character, a man who shared the name of the hero of the Arabian Nights, many times throughout his career.
Krúdy's novels about Budapest were popular during the First World War and the Hungarian Revolution, but he was often broke due to excessive drinking, gambling and philandering. His first marriage fell apart. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Krúdy's health declined and his readership dwindled. In the years after his death, his works were largely forgotten until 1940, when Hungarian novelist Sándor Márai published Sinbad Comes Home, a fictionalized account of Krúdy's last day. This book's success brought Krúdy's works back to the Hungarian public.
He was called "a Hungarian Proust" by critic Charles Champlin in The New York Times.

bazı kısımları güzel olsa da bütünlükten yoksun metinlerdi,
bir sıra, düzen veya anlatı dengesi yoktu...

Nem tudom eldönteni, hogy Szindbád elképesztő szexista vagy csak túl sok problémája van a nőkkel, fél az elköteleződéstől és mommy issuesja van. Mindenesetre, bár néha a falba vertem a fejem, élveztem olvasni. Krúdy metaforái a múltbautazásra, kifinomult hasonlatai olyan dolog, amiért megéri ezt a könyvet elolvasni.
Idézetek:
Míg az álom csendesen szállong az ágy fölött, mint egy fáradt, pihenésre térő lepke.
A kisvárosok szerelmesei a mély árok bokrai alatt megtalálták mindazt, amite a szerelemnek szüksége van. Csendet, magányt, fölöttük a csillagot eget, lábuk alatt a puha pázsitot
