Çılgın Gibi

İthaki Publications continues to bring all of Suat Derviş's works to readers.

In Çılgın Gibi, a love novel that will also impress today's readers, another unforgettable character of Suat Derviş, Celile, takes the stage. We believe that Çılgın Gibi, where unchanging emotions accompany the different world of the past, will gain a permanent place among the important examples of Turkish novels...

In my opinion, Suat Derviş is an important novelist. He was both tortured and forgotten because of his political views. He wrote his first novels at a very young age. A great master of the time, Ahmet Haşim, especially recommended these first works; he praised the young novelist as a 'stylist'. Our literary history is not very aware of it.

Despite being reprinted several times, Çılgın Gibi, which literature lovers do not pay enough attention to, is a very beautiful novel by Suat Derviş. A bitter love novel. A novel that analyzes love from a Marxist perspective; in my opinion, it has no peer in our literature.
-Selim İleri-

Suat Derviş first masterfully describes the climate in which his heroes live. The Istanbul of the period, the lives of the black market and war tycoons, the passion for power, the power of nobility still felt like a ghost, etc. Then we get to know our heroes with all their characteristics and then the story of forbidden love begins. "Love being separated from its innocence, the pleasure and regret that cheating creates in a person, the inability to achieve happiness in all circumstances", he deals with all of them in detail.
