Balcon sur la Méditerranée (CADRE VERT)

by Nedim Gürsel

L'exil loin de la Turquie natale et la passion des femmes : tels sont les deux points communs des héros de ces récits. C'est dans la tendresse des femmes aimées, dans la violence du désir, dans le plaisir, dans la détresse des abandons, dans la lumière d'une passion qui commence qu'ils revivent les bonheurs qu'on leur a arraché et les violences qu'ils ont subies.Les femmes sont l'Orient éternel de Nedim Gürsel.L'amour, c'est faire prisonnier l'autre, ses dit-il.Ou alors, c'est se rendre, songe-t-il dans un ultime élan.N. G.

About the author

Nedim Gürsel was born in Gaziantep, Turkey, in 1951. He published his first novellas and essays in Turkish literary magazines in the late 60s. After the coup d’état in 1971, he had to testify in court for one of his articles. This led to his decision to temporarily reside in France. He studied Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne in Paris and completed his dissertation in 1979 on Nâzim Hikmet and Louis Aragon. Gürsel then returned to Turkey, but the military putsch of 1980 sent him back into exile in France. He first wrote articles and travel reports which were published in 'Le Monde', as well as in the Turkish newspapers 'Cumhuriyet' and 'Milliyet'. Today he teaches contemporary Turkish literature at the Sorbonne and directs the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
