Kıyamet Vaktini Gösteren Saat

He was not afraid of dying, but of not knowing when he would die. In the dark room of the palace, the clock showing the time was the executioner's footsteps. Time was death for the unfortunate Prince with every breath he took. All he could think about was the moment when the greasy rope his executioner put around his neck would leave him breathless. He was no longer afraid of death. His fear was to wait. His doomsday was not being able to control time. Doomsday was the unknown.

The unfortunate Prince, who was waiting for his doomsday in his cage in the palace, suddenly became responsible for the death and doomsday of all his subjects as the shadow of God on earth. Maybe he wouldn't be able to win victories and conquer countries, maybe he wouldn't be able to achieve peace and unity and establish order, maybe he wouldn't be able to develop cities and build mosques that would glorify the name of Allah. However, he could benefit his servants in a completely different way and inform them of their doomsday.

The Clock Showing the Doomsday Time explains the greatest paradox of man. Living knowing that one day you will die, but without knowing when... What is told is the life of a sultan who is a slave to his fears, between life and death, a grand vizier who cannot curb his ambition, a skillful clockmaker, a fluent apprentice and other ordinary people. Devrim Kodakcı meets his readers again after Kebikeç and Bir Çalçene Story and offers his readers a new literary feast with his fairy-tale narrative and unique language.
