Yes I suppose the meaning of actually reading is that one. Thanks for sharing your impressions about this book ). It’s nice the way some books can move you and become an unforgettable part of your life, isn’t it?
The way the little protagonist, Barış, told in a simple and kinda poetic way the terrible things that happens in the jail during the 1980 military coup is something that melt my heart every time i read it as only good poems and few things or writings can do (Except this novel, I felt this kind of emotion just with a brazilian novel by Guimarães Rosa, „Miguilim“, for the same poetic/simple/sweet the little protagonist gaze on life has, even when it really hurts him). The only Turkish novel I read so far in which there was a child (I forgot If I already told you or not as I LOVE that novel) was ‚Uçurtmayı vurmasınlar‘ by Feride Çiçekoğlu. I’haven’t read that novel but I’m really really curios and I think it will be one of my next readings, thanks to wrote about that.
A critical and comparative analysis of Madonna in a Fur Coat and Kürk Mantolu Madonna will be carried out by employing Gideon Toury’s (1995) “operational” and “matricial norms” to foreground the differences between the source and target texts by pointing out the necessity of having (co-)translators and copy editors, who are native speakers of source language, in the case of books translated from minor(ity) languages and literatures in particular.That sounds soo interesting! That idea the children have the ability to contain the past sounds fascinating! I’ve never thought about that! I always loved the way they see life and appreciate every second of it. In the light of Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of “agency”, the study focuses on the key role of the publishers in the source and target cultures as well as the editor of Kürk Mantolu Madonna as social agents in the “consecration” and (re-)creation of the book both in Turkey and in the international arena. The study also investigates the way Sabahattin Ali and his work have been re-created and re-contextualized in the Turkish context in order to analyze the recent ‘unexpected’ popularity of Kürk Mantolu Madonna in the source culture. This study explores the reason(s) why Sabahattin Ali’s novel, Kürk Mantolu Madonna, was translated into English after 73 years and how it has been (re-)presented and (re-)contextualized in the Anglophone world.
