Reviews

[Göksal Caner Malatya · Rating 3 out of 5]

İslam tarihini ve Hz. Muhammed'in hayatını, divan edebiyatının o naif ve estetik diliyle, bir bülbülün gözünden anlatan lirik bir çalışma. Ancak eserin edebi ve tasavvufi zarafeti, dönemin o yakıcı sınıf çelişkilerini, Mekke oligarşisine ve tefeci-bezirgan sömürüsüne karşı verilen o büyük "sosyal devrim" mücadelesini tamamen gölgede bırakır. Tarihsel olayları salt mistik ve ilahi bir kurguya hapsederek, İslam'ın doğuşundaki o eşitlikçi ve devrimci pratiği depolitize edilmiş bir romantizme kurban eder. Geleneksel okur için ruhani bir lezzet sunsa da, tarihsel materyalist bir okuma için olayların maddi zeminini sis perdesi ardında bırakan bir metindir.
