The slight hum of boiling water in the metal… The smell of tea added to it… A thin mist that extends from the back streets of the neighborhood to the sea… Samovar is a book born in this mist.<\/p>\n
The Samovar, Sait Faik’s first book of short stories, presents small slices of 1930s Istanbul. But these are not encyclopedic pictures of the city; they are like the hands of a man cleaning fish on the pier, the shaky laughter of children taking shelter from the rain, a boat bobbing in the lantern light at midnight. The author takes the ordinary sounds of the street and gives them an unforgettable timbre. <\/p>\n
There are no heroes in these stories, no triumphs – but there are those tiny moments that touch the heart. The rush of the future seen in the grounds of a tea… The desire to travel hidden in the wing of a seagull… The friendships formed by a samovar and often ending in silence… <\/p>\n
“To live is a bit like waiting by a samovar,” he writes; he tells the poetry of patience, sharing and waiting.<\/p>\n
Samovar is a beginning in our literature – but it is also an endless invitation. As you turn the pages, you will feel that this invitation will make you sit down at an old wooden table, next to a steaming thin glass. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":330290,"menu_order":75,"template":"","tags":[],"kitap-kategorileri":[57,60],"class_list":["post-330289","kitaplar","type-kitaplar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kitap-kategorileri-novel","kitap-kategorileri-turkish-literature"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kitaplar\/330289","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\/330290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330289"},{"taxonomy":"kitap-kategorileri","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rankitap.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kitap-kategorileri?post=330289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
