Kör Döğüşü

by Aziz Nesin

... Kafama bir sopa indi ki, siddetinden oluyorum sanip kelime-i sahadet getirdim. Velakin, bu arada fil sinirini de muhtarin beynine indirdim. Namussuz muhtar, gozun procektor muydu a herif, o karanlikta beni secip de, "Bildim, sen Korucu omer'sin!" demez mi? Muhtarin beni gorecek hali yok, koca topuzu kaldirdi, Yarica Riza'nin kafasi budur diye indirdi. Bu nasil sey? Yarici Riza bizim parti degil mi? Ben muhtari birakip ya Allah diye Kel Nuri'ye giristim...Sayfa 120Baski 2014 Nesin Yayinevi

About the author

Aziz 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.

مجموعة من القصص الساخرة المترجمة لعزيز نيسين أحد أشهر أدباء تركيا
القصص لا بأس بها، بعضها ينتقد أوضاع كانت موجودة وقت كتابة العمل، ويسخر فيها الكاتب كثيرا من البيروقراطية وطبقة الموظفين الرسميين، وبعضها ينتقد نماذج في المجتمع، بوجه عام لم تعجبني معظم القصص باستثناء "قصة رائعة" و"ممنون جدا بمعرفتك"، والأخيرة تنتقد بشكل رائع ومميز فكرة الاقتباس من الخارج دون تمييز

[Yousif Omran · Rating 3 out of 5]

قصص جميلة للكاتب الساخر عزيز نيسين، لكنها لم تكن كلها على نفس المستوى من الجودة، كما أن المبالغة في السخرية في بعض القصص إلى حد الخروج عن حدود المعقول والمنطقي قللت من قيمتها ومتعتها

[Saladin Saladin · Rating 3 out of 5]

بإتمامي لهذا الكتاب أكون قد قرأت عشرين عملا للكاتب التركي الكبير عزيز نيسين الذي يلقب ب " مارك توين" تركيا و الذي يعد واحدا من أعمدة الأدب الساخر في العالم . فمن خلال كتاباته و قصصه و بأسلوبه الخاص نجح الكاتب أيما نجاح في تشريح الواقع الذي عاشته تركيا و بلدان العالم الثالث -سابقا- ككل خاصة من الناحيثين السياسية و الاجتماعية . و مدى المعاناة التي تعيشها شعوب هذه البلدان . و كل ذلك بأسلوب ساخر لا تملك معه إلا أن تتبسم ضاحكا خصوصا وان تلك المواقف نتعرض لها يوميا في حياتنا . و كما يقول المثل العربي " شر البلية ما يضحك " .

Hicivler hicivler hicivler..
Elbette Aziz Nesin ile bütünleşen hicivler..
Aziz Nesin bu sefer daha çok bürokrasi ile uğraşıyor..
Elbette görgüsüzlük de içinde😃

Gene her zamanki gibi şaşırtmadı üstad bu memleket hiç mi değişmez hiç mi şaşmaz dedim gene. Ne yazık ki değişmemişiz en çokda üzüldüğüm şey değişime umudumun kalmamasi. Üstad güldürürken işte böyle düşündürüyor.

هذه أول تجربة لي في قراءة كتاب من الأدب التركي

جميلة هذه المجموعة من القصص الساخرة

ومضحكة و صادقة لدرجة تثير الغيظ

أما ما يغظك فيها أنها تحدث فعلا على أرض الواقع

و تستغرب أنها تحدث فعلا

و هذا ما يجعلك تسأل نفسك سؤالا واحدا في نهاية كل قصة

هل أطراف هذه القصة يفكرون فعلا في ما يقومون به ؟؟

إذا كنت قد شاهدت المسلسل السوري الذائع الصيت " مرايا "

فهذا الكتاب لا يختلف عنه مطلقا

و قد تكون مرايا قد اقتبست بعض قصصها منه

بعد هذا الكتاب حتما سأقرأ لعزيز نيسن مرة اخرى

[Taha Noman ( طه نعمان ) · Rating 5 out of 5]

مجموعة قصصية ساخرة مرحة في ظاهرها لكنها محملة بالغضب والرفض والسخط والتمرد وهذا هو اسلوب عزيز نيسين في انتقاد الاوضاع السياسية والاجتماعية في تركيا من خلال هذا الاسلوب الساخر سخرية مقذعة ولم اجد من يماثله في اسلوبه الناقد الساخر الا بلال فضل ككاتب عربي متمكن من هذا النوع من الكتابات الساخرةالمتميزة

[Wejdan Saad · Rating 3 out of 5]

قصص ساخرة ممتعة .. أحببتها وأضحكتني.. أريد أن اقرأ لهذا الرجل مرات

الترجمة بشعة

[Tareq · Rating 3 out of 5]

قصص ساخرة جميلة تنتقد بعض الأوضاع السائدة، كما تهاجم طريقة تفكير الناس في بعض المواقف
تكاد تشعر بأن بعض تلك القصص ينطبق على واقعنا العربي

[Ehab Yousef · Rating 3 out of 5]

قصص لا بأس بها، لكنها ليست أفضل أعمال عزيز نيسين

[Evren Erarslan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Aziz Nesin'in bu kadar çok eserinin olmasına çok mutluyum. Arada sırada elime geldikçe okumaya devam ediyorum. Bu kitapta da ülke vatandaşları olarak asla düzelemeyeceğimizi öngörmüş resmen. 14 kısa hikayeden oluşan derlemede, genel itibari ile devlet daireleri, siyaset, çok partili rejim, vatandaş kurnazlıkları üzerine eleştiriler geliyor.
Ben en çok bir vergi dairesi klasiği olan "Kim Kimin Yanında" öyküsü ile (vergi dairesine girenlerin çıkamadığı :) "Yaşasın Memleket" hikayelerini çok beğendim (Yaşar Ne Yaşar Ne Yaşamaz'a konu olan hikayenin küçüğü)
Şöyle kitapları edinmek istemeyenlere, ne katacak bana diyip es geçenlere, Nesin vakfından haberi olmayanlara çok sinirleniyorum.
Bahsi artırıyorum ve bu topraklarda doğup da Aziz Nesin okumayan kişilere acıyorum. Nüktedan dediğimiz yeteneği eksik olanların, mizahını geliştirmeden hayatını geçirenlerin arasında hayatımızı sürdürmek zorunda kalıyoruz. Aslında kendime acıyorum.
İşte Aziz Nesin anlatırken mesaj kaygısı gütmeden duramıyor insan :)

عودة إلى عزيز نيسين وسخريته اللازعة. لا تستطيع أن تتمالك نفسك من الابتسام بل والضحك عند قرضك لكتب عزيز نيسين. واقع تركي قديم يشبه واقعنا المصري الحالي بيروقراطية وتعسف وإهمال وظيفي وتنطع حكومي أشياء يناقشها نيسين بحس فكاهي وروح مداعبة.

[Bora · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yine Aziz Nesin, yine harika bir biçem ve yine güzel mi güzel bir öykü kitabı...

[Özge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Klasik Aziz Nesin öyküleri...

Maraqlı qısa hekayələr. Amma məncə yazıçının daha maraqlı hekayələri var.
