Sinova

Rate this book
"Ağaç dallarının bulutları iğnelediği, yaprakların güneşi perdelediği, havası daima soğuk ve nemli Sinova Ormanı; takvimsiz zamanlardan beri derinlerinde gizlediği o büyük sırrıyla uyandı yeni güne…

Rüzgar bile bu ormanda bir başka eser, kulaklara anlamsızca uğuldamak yerine sürekli aynı şeyi fısıldardı: Sinova kisse limeren… Kendilerini bu büyüleyici sesin cazibesine kaptıranlar; toprağı simsiyah, dalları ve meyvesi kan kırmızı o devasa ağacın yanında alırlardı soluğu. Ve merakla aldıkları bu son soluk, dehşetle verilirdi Sinova’nın kollarında…

Ormana ismini veren bu sıra dışı ağaç, kurbanlarını aniden kavrar, acı dolu çığlıklarına aldırmaksızın sıkar, sıkar ve son damla kanları toprağa düşmeden asla bırakmazdı. Fakat yine de ormanın sırrı, kanla sulanıp etle beslenen ve şöhreti sınırlarını çoktan aşmış bu vahşetten ziyade, mağaralarından dışarı gizlice süzülüp sislerin ardında sessizce yürüyenlerdi…"Ufuk Yayınları’ndan çıkan Hizmetkar Serisi’nin 6. kitabı Sinova’da insanlık öncesi dünyaya sıra dışı bir yolculuk sizleri bekliyor.Onlar insan değiller… Olamazlar da… Sinova’nın dehlizlerinde; düşünceleri, inançları ve âdetleriyle karanlığın zifirinde yaşıyorlar… Ve değil ışığın halesine, fikrine dahi tahammülleri yok! Peki ya içlerinden biri çıkıp güneşi düşlerse?

About the author

Cenk Enes Ozer

11 books47 followers
Cenk Enes Ozer is a Turkish-born novelist whose life has been marked by both exile and resilience. Before 2016, he published nine books in Turkey and built a career as a storyteller — until a government crackdown silenced his voice overnight. When his publisher was shut down, his books were pulled from shelves, and his future as a writer was erased.

Forced to leave his homeland, he arrived in North America with little more than determination. In Canada, survival came first. He worked in construction sites and carpentry workshops, sweating through long days to rebuild life for his family. For years, he stayed silent — not because he lacked words, but because he refused to let desperation define him.

Only after securing stability did he return to writing. And this time, it was with a new purpose: to give back to the people who opened their arms when he was in need, and to prove that stories can survive even when their authors are driven into exile.

His first novel in English, When the Devil Loves, is more than a work of fantasy. Through the eyes of Azâzil — a being caught between obedience and understanding, love and exile — Ozer channels the questions that haunted his own journey: What is the price of asking why? Why does the one who questions get cast out? Can exile be more honest than paradise?

Today, Ozer lives in Cambridge, Ontario, where he continues to build both homes and stories. His story has been featured in CBC The Morning Edition and CambridgeToday under the headline: “Turkish author rebuilds life in Canada after exile.”

When the Devil Loves is his testimony that even silence can be broken, and even exile can be more honest than paradise.
