From Death to Life
Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)
“Man is a spiritual machine!”
A personalized invention that consumes the body. It creates strange, very close, yet unique human landscapes.
Tektaş Ağaoğlu takes us through these landscapes:
We are taken to a cemetery whose inhabitants are still alive.
We accompany a train passenger on his mental journey back in time. We are taken for a walk in the park during winter—isn’t it the loneliest of seasons? We share the disappointment of the helpless – what greets him is the pain behind the eyes of the other…
Will we accept that ominous offer made to the body of another by a soul suffering from the evil he committed in his youth?
Stories constructed with details, with details about thoughts and feelings rather than places. Their suspense and depth construct the environment and the plot emerges. But this is not a fiction that relies on the attraction of events; it is a world in which nature, objects, the material; are put at the service of the “spiritual machine.”
When this book was first published in 1956, its author was 22 years old. He subsequently became a communist and did not want his stories to be published again until August 2017. Now, after half a century, “The bond between the living and the non-living, extending from death to life.”
