Dur Bir Mola Ver

Another wise novel from Tom Robbins, the author of The Dance of Perfume, which quickly became a "cult novel" by creating its own fan base: Stop, Take a Break.

In this novel, the author explains that people's inability to be happy causes them to break away from nature, such as the ambition to gain, the anxiety of losing and the fear of death. This is attributed to the fact that it acquires “unnatural” tensions. And he blames modern civilization for causing all this, which prioritizes economy over health, love, truth, beauty and sex. He states that the politicians, soldiers and clergy who maintain the system with orders, censorship, reward and punishment are afraid of nature and therefore of life. It explores the role of religion in exposing us to a life that aims for "stability" rather than a free and joyful life. He emphasizes that the most stable societies are police states, that nature and life are not stable, that stability is not natural, and that religion tries to ensure stability with the reward of Heaven and the punishment of Hell.

Gypsy-spirited Amanda and drummer and sculptor Ziller decide to live a different life. They open a rest facility on the side of the road where all kinds of people stop and take a break, where sausages and vegetable/fruit juice are sold, fleas in ballet costumes perform, and tsetse flies and non-poisonous snakes are exhibited. Colorful and sensual Amanda, who says "The fear of death is the beginning of slavery" and believes that the essential thing in life is "style", mixes with the "fruit of the devil" mushrooms, insects and flowers... Ziller, who makes all her journeys towards the source and reconciles the rhythm in creation with the rhythm in music, is wild, half-naked. , wander around silently... They live by remembering the Indian, Tibetan, African cultures and the pagan world, whose history is much older than Western culture...

For those looking for a life beyond losing and winning...
