Everest Yayınları There Are No Knives in the Kitchens of This City

Product description

''cities die, just like people do.'' Halid halife, one of the powerful representatives of arabic literature, tells the story of a syrian family living under the shadow of political, religious and sexual bullying, spanning three generations, surrounded by a sense of 'shame' with his book 'there are no knives in the kitchens of this city'. Halife's novel, which turkish readers will have the opportunity to read for the first time, and which was valued with the 2013 necib mahfuz book award, offers a broad vision of the history and political fluctuations of a neighboring country that we hardly know. The work, meticulously translated from arabic, its original language, describes the decline, individual and social, with fearless realism and impressive metaphors. The novel, in which the city of aleppo, which has undergone a devastating transformation over the years, is a character in itself, which many miss the old days with nostalgia

Through numerous characters, he reveals the social fragmentation, the shattered dreams, the violence, the pain and fear repressed in syria for more than half a century, with social and psychological depth. In this poetic work, halife reflects the spirit of the city where he was born with an impressive observation power and frankness. Those who want to understand the origin of the conflict in syria more ''deeply'' should definitely put the knives are not in this city's kitchens on their reading lists. He shares the “amazing” life scenes of aleppo trapped behind closed doors with its streets, smells, food, and music. ''aleppo was being punished by the word, turned into a city where fear was legitimized. "a city that was crushed under the arbitrary wishes of the sinister intelligence officers, who could not do anything properly except their loyalty to those who held their collars, is now aleppo."
