Söylenmemiş Sözler

Unspoken Words Book Description

Urla is the oldest homeland of grapes and olives, oil, honey and wine jars, galleys and thousands of medicinal herbs. This is a place that makes those who have no doubt about the cruelty of the world and the brutality of man believe in the beauty of the world and the goodness of man. The peaceful garden of the childhood of Oktay Onur Yortan, a once legendary journalist and resentful of the world. The port where he rebelled against the loss of value in the world and took refuge, giving up his entire career and the burdens of life. His old love, Filiz Canan, whom he chose and kept from his past and the memories of the good old days, is now an unappreciated, missed opportunity for happiness.
In a whole life left under the unspoken words, they both left each other's story unfinished. But the real story they need to read and finish belongs to Nona, who smiles from the photographs of that house in Urla, embraces love as a resistance to life and is a hero of life with her ordinariness. In the account of a century of life that fits into a 48-hour adventure, including Kerem and Zeynep, who reached the end of the century in which Nona lived, Nona addresses not only them, but all the people of this century: "What you call pain is like stone, what you call human is like water. It slides over the stone and mixes with the soil. Every time you hit a stone it hurts. But as you meet the soil, your pain decreases. After the pain, you realize that neither flowers nor life have revived in that land. And don't just say water; That water wears out even stones.”
What about Mr. Oktay? Is he right when he says with all his heart to the two young people sitting across from him, "Heroism is not being afraid of dying, but of living"?
