Eye of the Viper - Special Edition Book Description "This is a unique book! I state that I have never read a book that is similar to this novel, has the same value and carries constant, unexpected surprises. I would like to say to a new reader: yes, read it and be surprised!" Elia Kazan "This novel is a novel of both darkness and light, of hope." Yaşar Kemal is a magical narrative that opens from the Imperial Harem to the game of thrones and does not forget to shine a light of hope while getting lost in the dark corridors of the will to power and confronting the most despicable aspects of human nature. A psychological look at the master-slave relationship. The Eye of the Viper, the 1997 Balkan Literature Award-winning first novel by Zülfü Livaneli, the master writer of Turkish Literature, who said "the book that brought me closest to doing what I wanted", tells the story of the power-individual relationship through the eyes of Abyssinian Suleiman, a black slave who was castrated at a young age and made a eunuch. While Suleiman was struggling in the hands of his "only" master's fate, which oscillated between the throne and death, he said to the new sultan, "Long live my sultan!" He can't stop shouting: The Eye of the Viper, which meets its readers again with its 25th anniversary edition, goes beyond being a novel of the period, delving into the depths of human psychology; A Zülfü Livaneli classic that sheds light on the palaces of yesterday, today and tomorrow with a reality that will illuminate even the most hidden secrets.
