From island fishermen to broken hearts in a tavern, from the smell of sweat of poor porters to the cool breeze of the Bosphorus, these stories weave poetry out of everyday sounds. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sait Faik mesmerizes the reader not with flamboyant sentences, but with a simple but free language; he weighs the words in his palm like seashells, then leaves them just right. The people in his stories are familiar by acquaintance-perhaps your traveling companion on a ferry, perhaps a young fisherman whose glance you missed. And in every line, his passionate belief in humanity is hidden: &#8220;It all starts with loving people.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This book is the first spark of light to surface in the author&#8217;s storytelling. When you open the cover of Cistern, you will not step into the coolness of a stone cellar, but into the warm dome of words; you will warm your insides with a simple but shocking literature. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":330180,"menu_order":10,"template":"","tags":[],"kitap-kategorileri":[65,60],"class_list":["post-330178","kitaplar","type-kitaplar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kitap-kategorileri-classics","kitap-kategorileri-turkish-literature"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kitaplar\/330178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kitaplar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kitaplar"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330178"},{"taxonomy":"kitap-kategorileri","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kitap-kategorileri?post=330178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
