Massime ed epigrammi di Bedrettin Simsek in stile La Rochefoucauld e Oscar Wilde. Un esempio unico di creatività geniale che riunisce tante affermazioni con arguzia, umorismo e ironia, tutte appartenenti all'autore. Questo libro include anche il capitolo intitolato "La scoperta del Tristo Mietitore" dove si possono leggere i risultati di uno studio condotto dal Wellcome Trust nel Regno Unito e pubblicato sulla rivista Plos Biology nel luglio 2013 che conferma la tesi di Bedrettin Simsek secondo cui "Non c'è un'anima che esce dal corpo al momento della morte, ma c'è un'onda di luce che entra nel corpo" che all'inizio sembrava una follia per la maggior parte delle persone. Perché gli scienziati britannici sostengono di aver scoperto l'esistenza del Tristo Mietitore monitorando la morte dei vermi al microscopio che ha mostrato che la morte appare sotto forma di un'onda, proprio come è stato descritto nel "Dispositivo miracoloso", la prima storia del libro di Bedrettin Simsek 'Il veleno dell'amore' pubblicato nel 2005. "È un divieto o un tabù?" include citazioni dai libri dell'autore come "Il libro dei sermoni del falso profeta" "La discussione di un ateo e un chierico" "Crimini e confessioni" "L'educazione di una prostituta" "Il veleno dell'amore" "Un fantasma vaga per Ankara" "L'amore è una follia?" "La espulsione di Adamo ed Eva dal cielo secondo il diavolo" Questo libro è specialmente per i lettori che cercano opere che uniscono filosofia, umorismo e letteratura e può anche essere assolutamente pericoloso Per quelli a cui manca la vera letteratura in un mare di libri senza senso.
Bedrettin Simsek was a promising writer when his first two books were published by major Turkish publishers in 1996 and 1997. His combination of philosophy, humor, and literature set him apart from other writers, and he stood out for his skeptical attitude toward religion. When his third book, "The Discussions of an Atheist and a Clergyman" was published in 1998 by one of Turkey's leading publishers, he was sued over readers' complaints and both he and the publisher were sentenced to prison terms for insulting religious values. This sentence was suspended on the condition that he would not commit the same offense again and was noted in his record. His conviction made Bedrettin a criminal forever. All publishing houses closed their doors to him; he was excluded from the literary world. His later works were always rejected by publishers, some for fear of punishment, others for fear of reader reaction.
"The first to enter hell are not those who do evil or sin, but those who didn’t do good although they were in a position to do it."
Is it a Ban or a Taboo? includes quotes and introducer of the author's books. I enjoyed this. There were a lot of beautiful phrases. I've highlighted quotes more than I expected, I only mention two of them.
"Dangerous Thoughts" and "Human Comedy" published in a single book in 2010, and There are stories like, "Crime And Confessions" and "A Ghost is Wandering in Ankara". I recently read two of them. "Is love a Madness?", "The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Heaven According to Devil", and I loved them. Also, I got very interested to read "The Sermon Book Of The False Prophet" and "The Education of a Prostitute". Sound very complaining.
"God must have thought of birds when he created the trees. That's why there is no tree without a bird and there can not be a world without trees. But the world can well survive without humans. Even the existence of the insect that attracts birds to the tree is more essential to nature than human. Indeed , if we were to be erased from the face of the earth today, the nature would continue functioning just the same. But if the bugs disappear, there's nothing left. Maybe the reason man is always looking for a place outside of this world, creating a heaven and a hell away from the earth is because there is no place for him in this world." (Human Comedy) or maybe find a place on another planet!!!!
