Blind Owl

The Blind Owl by Sâdik Hidâyet, who is considered one of the main founders of modern Iranian literature, is one of the most striking texts of the twentieth century. Probing the drama of the modern individual with a sharp look and a cool-headed attitude; The Blind Owl, which sheds light on human dilemmas and blocking points, is one of the books that should be read again and again. By looking at the tense relationship of man with society, tradition, the problem of existence, but more importantly, love, from a different window, it produces new meanings about these areas and connects to the belief that the feeling of love is the only feeling of man in the world. Of course, "what kind of love?" Sâdik Hidâyet also has answers to the question:

For the first time in this world full of poverty and laziness, I thought a ray of sunshine had shone in my life. But alas! It wasn't sunlight; Maybe it's just a temporary light; A shooting star that appears in the form of a woman or an angel. In that one moment of brightness, in one second, I saw all the misfortunes of my life; I realized the magnificence of these. Then this light disappeared again in the vortex of darkness where it was supposed to disappear. No, I could not keep this temporary light to myself.

The Blind Owl is one of the narratives that can be read in one breath; A classic text that makes bold and radical statements not only about love, but also about life and death...
