Beschreibung

<p>Starting with the basic question "what <i>is</i> this place?", award-winning journalist and novelist Ece Temelkuran guides us through her "beloved country". In challenging the authoritarian AKP government - for which she lost her job as a journalist - Temelkuran draws strength and wisdom from people, places and artistic expression.<br><br>The result is a beautifully rendered account of the struggles, hopes and tragedies which make Turkey what it is today. Lamenting the commercialisation and authoritarianism which increasingly characterises Turkish society, Temelkuran sees hope in the Gezi Park protests of 2013, the electoral breakthrough of the progressive HDP party in 2015 and in the simple kindness of ordinary people.<br><br>Much more than either straightforward history or memoir, <i>Turkey: the Insane the Melancholy</i> is like sitting with a friendly stranger who, over <i>raki</i> or coffee, reveals the secrets of this rich and complex country - the historic "bridge" between east and west.</p>
