Kora Yayın Seki'nin Mor Menevşeleri

Product description

Seki's houses are in three or five acre gardens. The edges of the gardens are surrounded by green bushes that are 60 cm wide.

the edges of the garden are not plowed at all.

these areas were planted with apple, walnut, quince, carob, pear and plum trees.

the middle of the gardens was plowed, vegetables (beans, millet, tomatoes, leeks, carrots, parsnips, cabbage) were planted in these places.

purple violets grew spontaneously in the gardens.

purple finches for some reason loved the bottom of the crabapple trees. The gardens of seki were irrigated with spring water, and the seeds of the menevşeler would come with this water and settle at the bottom of the quince trees. In the past, the streams coming from the taurus mountains were filled with purple violets.

when we were kids we used to go "steal" geraniums from other people's yards.

the most i have ever "stolen" is a geranium. At this time, neither purple verbena nor native fruit trees remained in seki's gardens. That's why i wanted the purple hyacinth, which i associate with seki, to come to life in my book. I embarked on a journey, guided by the book's title, esin türkmen, and captivated by its content.

first of all, the name impressed me. Menevşe, like karacaoğlan, is a flower that has been the subject of many folk songs and has been burned as a turkish song.

a little bit of longing, its evanescence, evokes the past, and sadness passes through it.

brazilian great writer jorge amado said, "a person's homeland is childhood." This profound and meaningful statement has always resonated with me. As people age, they tend to look back to their past more, as if they're retreating, even hugging themselves. When he leans on seventy, he doesn't want to climb the ladder of life anymore! Esin is one of the hardworking, cultured, and well-prepared students of our generation, nurtured by teachers from the köy enstitüsü. She is a true republican woman and intellectual who questions, reads, whether she is a student, a teacher, or retired. As a child, seki seemed to me like a creature who had its back to the mountains and its feet stretched out to the endless plains. With its ten kilometers in depth and breadth, the lush pasture where we grazed our cattle led me to think otherwise, i guess, due to the difference in the concept of space given by childhood. These are the people that teacher esin described, the product of such a geography.

i also know many people from my close relatives, including the subject, to the neighbor. They conveyed their relationships, conflicts, and humor with their unique local dialects and authentic structures beautifully.

the description of "those beautiful people, they rode on those beautiful horses and left" that the great master yaşar kemal said at the beginning of his novel "yusufçuk yusuf" fits these people, who have been written, preventing them from drowning. - mehmet atay
