At the centre of the story are a young struggling author, an orphaned teenager and a depraved aristocrat, who not only foreshadows the great figures of evil in Dostoevsky's later fiction, but is a powerful and original presence in his own right. This new translation catches the verve and tumult of the original, which - in concept and execution - affords a refreshingly unfamiliar glimpse of the author. You can also find the edition in Bulgarian - ... |

Типичен роман на големия творец Халид Зия Ушаклъгил. Повествованието се развива в две различни, дори напълно противоположни социални среди. Срещат се два свята - този на Ферди Ефенди и на Исмаил Тайфур. Светът на Ферди Ефенди е изграден от пари, богатство и разкош. Светът на Исмаил Тайфур, въпреки че отдава значение на моралните ценности, е пълен с бедност, недоимък и грижа по насъщния. Тук ясно проличава релацията "богат - беден", "пари-любов". Следва сблъсък от сложни взаимоотношения. На преден план се появяват в лабиринтна смесица любов, богатство, духовност. Гротеската е в основата на развитието ... |
