Nâzım Hikmet Knihy
Nazim Hikmet, uznávaný ako prvý moderný turecký básnik, je celosvetovo považovaný za jedného z najväčších medzinárodných básnikov dvadsiateho storočia. Jeho práca, ovplyvnená ruskými futuristami, opustila tradičné formy a snažila sa o „depoetizáciu“ poézie. Svoje verše často písal v epickom štýle a skúmal témy ľudských krajín a spoločenských ideálov. Hikmetov jedinečný hlas rezonuje naprieč kultúrami, čo z neho robí významnú postavu svetovej literatúry.

"Such a poet as Hikmet is beyond our hopes in this country. He is pure feeling. He writes our most private thoughts with a zest and love that makes us treasure them in ourselves. We learn to love ourselves through love of him, a poet who bestrides the world of man ever joyfully, even in dwelling upon his sorrows."--David Ignatow.

Written during the Second World War while Hikmet was serving a thirteen-year sentence as a political prisoner, his verse-novel uses cinematic techniques to tell the story of the emergence of secular, modern Turkey by focusing on the always-entertaining stories of sundry characters from all walks of life. As his vignettes flash before our eyes at movie-like speed, it becomes clear he is also telling the turbulent story of the twentieth century itself and the ongoing struggle between tradition, which trusts in God, and modernity, which entrusts the world to human hands.
