Romance in the Snowhouse

If you ever go to a Gençlerbirliği match, pay attention to the man who is constantly shouting and watches his team in "awe" with his red and black hand-knitted scarf. That incorrigible romantic, regardless of what kind of "profithouse" he is in, goes to the matches of his one and only Gencler, regardless of the rain or mud. It's not enough, he takes his friends too. That's not enough, he brings people around him to football. Not only that: Writer! Colours, jerseys, players, joys, fans... in short, about loving football... So much so that sometimes it creates terms ("oligarchy"), sometimes it creates culture ("taking children to the match"), and sometimes it keeps records (team keeping styles). ). These are exactly the articles we "want to see in our fields". It gives warmth and enthusiasm to the reader. In fact, he is the reason why the country's intellectuals "attempt" to write about football - even though he sometimes regrets it. In spite of all the books, articles and compilations he has written, compiled, translated and edited throughout his intellectual life, he "also" enjoys sketching about football.
Romance in Kârhane is a compilation of Tanıl Bora's contributions to our football culture over a period of approximately 10 years. These are genuine essays that emphasize the pure state of the game, "play with the game", are romantic, yet realistic, and do not fall into the trap of naive nostalgia. The inner story of an Eduardo Galeano-esque "football beggar"...
However, there are dozens of reasons to hate football these days. The role he steals from social and cultural life, his increasingly vandalized snapshots, his industry, his "deep" relationships, and his tendency towards machismo and discrimination make even the most devoted football fans say "Indeed". But "faith" cannot be abandoned just because "forms of worship", "interpretations" and even "football scholars" talk nonsense! You need to read this book to remember this. For peace. To renew one's faith... To believe in the religion of football again...
