Aşk Var Düşersen


Book Description

Yazmak, onların hayalleriydi. Bir kitapta buluşmak ise hayal bile değildi. MasterCamp Yazarlık Akademisi katılımcılarının usta kalemlerden aldıkları dersler, güzel bir sona değil, harika bir başlangıca dönüştü. Ortak teması “Yolculuk”, “Aşk” ve “Yeniden Başlamak” olan 17 yazarlı bu kitapta, hikâyeli yolculuklar bulacaksınız. “Sabır ve tutku... Bu kitaba imzalarını atanları, en çok bu inanç bir arada tutabilirdi... Yolculuğa böyle bir umutla çıktık. Hâlâ yolda olduğumuzu söylemeye gerek var mı?” Mario Levi “Hayat aslında bir seyahattir, hedef değil. Mutluluk, gidilen yolun üzerindedir, sonunda değil. Sonlar aslında her zaman yeni başlangıçlardır. Aşk da hiçbir zaman yolun sonunda değildir, yolculuktadır. Öyle olmasa, aşk da yolun sonu olurdu ve vakit de geçmiş olurdu. Mutlu olmanın zamanı hiçbir zaman yarın değildir, hep bugündür. Bu kitabın da yolculuğunu düşündüğümde benim için hem mutluluk,hem sahip olmak, hem yaşam, hem de aşk olduğunu görüyorum...” Uğur Batı “Yazı derslerimde, her zaman yazarın bir meselesi olmalıdır derim. Öğrencilerimizin aşkı mesele etmeleri beni çok mutlu etti; ne de olsa sevdadan yanayız. Aşka düşmek de mümkün, aşkla yükselmek de... Birbirinden farklı üsluptaki bu güzel öykülerle tarafınızı seçmek kolaylaşabilir.” Gülşah Elikbank “Bu seçkide yer alan bütün yeni yazarlara parlak bir gelecek dilerken, aşk üzerine pek çok satır üretmiş biri olarak, yeni kuşakların konuyu nasıl ele aldıklarını öğrenmeyi heyecan ve merakla bekliyorum.” Pınar Kür “Yaşadığım hiçbir aşk, içindeyken ya da ardından yazdığım şarkının sözlerini, kendisi yaşamışçasına söyleyen biriyle karşılaşmak kadar tamamlanmış hissettirmedi. Bu sözlenmeden daha güzeli yok kendi hikâyemde. Dilerim, bu kitabın hikâyecileri de sözlensin okurlarıyla...” Sibel Algan “Yazmak, ancak aşk ile kat edilebilen, tek yönlü, uzun bir yol. Tecrübe duyguya, duygu söze, söz yazıya, yazı okura ulaştı mı, o aşk da o yol da hiç bitmez. Yazma aşkı bitmez... Yazar adaylarımız içtiler bu iksirden, artık geri dönmek için çok geç...” Selda Terek

Why Are You Afraid? Have You No Faith?


Book Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on our lives, and the same is true for the Church. Masses were suspended for months, people could not receive the sacraments, and during that time Pope Francis celebrated Mass alone every day. Why are you afraid? Have you no faith? collects some of the words from the pope’s daily homilies when the world was in isolation during the “long Lent” in the spring of 2020, as well as Angelus messages and prayers he delivered. This book is filled with poignant photos that bring to life Pope Francis’ words of support and encouragement, especially from his extraordinary blessing “Urbi et Orbi” in an empty St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican on March 27, 2020. The dozens of photos in this book illustrate the themes often evoked by the Holy Father during the pandemic, including fraternal love, solidarity, the common good, and the virtue of hope. Commemorating an historically important chapter in both the papacy of Francis and the history of the modern world, this book is another avenue by which the Holy Father shares his uplifting message of wisdom, hope, and love with those who have suffered in pain, loneliness, and fear. Despite the dire challenges we have faced during this pandemic, Pope Francis reminds us that evil does not destroy confidence in God, and it does not break the solidarity of humanity.




Self-Defeating Behaviors


Book Description

In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands. And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter-bitter," he answered; But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart. " Stephen Crane The Black Riders and Other Lines "It is the function of great art to purge and give meaning to human suffering," wrote Bernard Knox (1982, p. 149) in his introduction to Oedipus Rex. This is done by showing some causal connection between the hero's free will and his suffer ing, by bringing to the fore the interplay of the forces of destiny and human freedom. Knox states that Freud was wrong when he suggested that it was "the particular nature of the material" in Oedipus that makes the play so deeply moving, and not the contrast between destiny and human will. Knox believes that this play has an overpowering effect upon us, not only because we share the tendency of Oedipus to direct" our first sexual impulse towards our mother" and "our first murderous wish against our father," as Freud tells us, but also because the theological modification of the legend introduced by Sophocles calls into question the sacred beliefs of our time (Knox, 1982, pp. 133-137).
