📚 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Throughout reading the book, I kept thinking that what Catherine and Heathcliff felt for each other wasn't love, but obsession. In fact, while reading, you constantly find yourself asking, "Is this what love is like?" 📮 I couldn't help but mention that the Bronte sisters, as always, showed their gothic side. The book has an incredibly pessimistic atmosphere. Also, I've never read a book with so much violence before. Reading about people constantly being beaten was very disturbing. Nevertheless, despite everything, I think it's a magnificent psychological novel.

📚 Georgi Gospodinov – The Gardener and Death
“My father was a gardener. Now he’s a garden.”
The novel tells us what to expect in its very first sentence: a loss, but also a transformation.
“This is my first trip where my father didn’t call to ask about the roads and warn me to drive carefully.” For example, these sentences brought me to tears. I’d say get ready for an emotional journey.
The Gardener and Death is not just a personal mourning story about the death of a father; it is also a quiet yet unsettling book that invites reflection on the impact of death on the body, time, memory, and narrative.
Gospodinov, in describing his father's illness and disintegration, does not dramatize death; on the contrary, he presents it to us in its everyday, silent, and inevitable form.
Throughout the novel, hospital reports, medical terminology, and the cyclical language of the garden intertwine. The cold language of modern medicine stands side-by-side with the patient wisdom of the earth.
The garden is the heart of the book. The soil both nourishes life and accepts death. As the father draws closer to the earth, the son clings to writing.
The Gardener and Death doesn't romanticize death; it tries to understand it. With its quiet, simple, and fragile language, it convinces the reader of the following:
Death reveals not the emptiness of life, but its meaning.
📒 José Saramago – Death Is One Thing, Life Is Another
🌙On New Year's Day, nobody in the country starts dying.
At first glance, it seems like a miracle.
"We wish there were no death," we say.
But it soon becomes clear that death is not merely an end, but the cornerstone of an entire order.
🟡The church is panicking.
Insurance companies can't do the math.
Hospitals, nursing homes, funeral homes are collapsing.
The elderly, those in a coma, the terminally ill… nobody can die, but everyone starts to become a burden.
🟡Here, Saramago dissects the state, religion, the economy, and the hypocritical morality of humanity with great irony.
🌙Then death returns.
But this time, as a woman.
He sends people letters in purple envelopes, informing them that they are going to die.
Until a letter never reached its destination…
To a cellist.
And death, for the first time, falls in love with a human being.
⭐️The novel transforms into something else entirely at this point:
From a cold allegory to a fragile love story.
⚠️Saramago asks us this question:
Is immortality truly a salvation, or the greatest disaster?
And the book ends by returning to where it began:
"No one died the next day."
Sometimes life is only meaningful because it can end. 🖤
📚Buried Alive - Sadegh Hedayat
📍A writer filled with blood, passion, revenge, pain, and sorrow.
Hidayet doesn't just talk about herself; she also doesn't overwhelm the reader with societal flaws.
📮Why should we read Hidayet? Because it's good to become familiar with the anxieties of a writer who left Iran and went to Europe, it's good to know the troubles of the Iranian people, and many elements in the stories are interesting.
The story that caught my attention;
📌“Fire Worshipper” is a charming story about Zoroastrianism. Wine, two glasses, conversation on the table. A man who has recently arrived from Iran says he never expected to return home, and that after returning, he wishes to go back again. Something calls to him; a prisoner of an ancient feeling, he doesn't believe in much, but he must heed the call, for fires have burned deep within him, the man is swept away by ecstasy. He must participate in a ritual, he does, and there he feels the presence of the divine. Perhaps this story, which draws on the notes of a scholar who conducted research on Iran in the early 20th century, is more convincing than other stories for this very reason.
✨But overall I can't say I liked it very much, I wouldn't recommend it, but I really liked the author's book 'The Blind Owl', I would recommend that one ☺️
📚 WOMEN WHO DON'T SUBMIT - Bahar Eriş
✨History has always pointed to men when it came to "geniuses."
But on the margins of the pages of history, it always says:
Women who were rendered invisible, suppressed, but who never gave up.
In *Women Who Don't Bow Down*, Bahar Eriş makes this silent light visible.
From Frida Kahlo to Suat Derviş,
From Forough Farrokhzad to Maya Angelou,
From Yayoi Kusama to Nargis Mohammadi…
✨These women didn't just produce great works.
They rejected the roles assigned to them.
They rewrote what a "genius" looks like.
✨Eriş; helps children with autism, dyslexia, and emotional vulnerabilities,
Or it also places women who continue to be productive even in old age at the center of this story.
✨Because talent cannot be confined to a mold.
✨Intelligence doesn't belong to just one type.
This book,
having to resist blooming
For all women. 🌿
