    Haftanın Kitabı 06: Şibumi

    Summary: Shibumi Trevanian Publisher: Crown Publishing Group Page: 496 ISBN: 9781400098033 Nicholai Hel is the world’s most wanted man. Born in Shanghai during the  chaos of World War I, he is the son of an aristocratic Russian mother and a mysterious German father and is the protégé of a Japanese Go master. Hel survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world’s most artful lover and its most accomplished—and well-paid—assassin. Hel is a genius, a mystic, and a master of language and culture, and his secret is his determination to attain a rare kind of personal excellence, a state of effortless perfection known only as shibumi. Now  living in an isolated mountain fortress with his exquisite mistress, Hel is unwillingly drawn back into the life he’d tried to leave behind when a beautiful young stranger arrives at his door, seeking help and refuge. It soon becomes clear that Hel is being tracked by his most sinister enemy—a supermonolith of international espionage known only as the Mother Company. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other . . . shibumi..

    The Book of The Week 05: Ghost Protocol

    The Book of The Week 05: Mission: Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

    Dear readers and watchers,

    In this article I will deal with a DVD product of a recent movie, Ghost Protocol from January 2012.

    hayalet-protokol

    Storyline

    In the fourth installment of the Mission Impossible series, Ethan Hunt and a new team race against time to track down Hendricks, a dangerous terrorist who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt by the team to stop him at the Kremlin ends in a disaster, with an explosion causing severe damage to the Kremlin and the IMF being implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to invoke Ghost Protocol, under which the IMF is disavowed, and will be offered no help or backup in any form. Undaunted, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks to Dubai, and from there to Mumbai, but several spectacular action sequences later, they might still be too late to stop a disaster. [imdb.com]

    The Book of The Week 03: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

    1 Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone

    Dear readers,

    In this week I want to introduce Harry Potter.

    Summary: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling. It was published in 1997 and a movie version was shown in theaters in 2001. In the United States the book and movie are called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

    1 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone paperback_cover 1 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

    Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon’s house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who’s parents have been killed in a ‘car crash’. He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents mysterious death, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher’s Stone! All this and muggles too. Now, what are they?

    Cussler is one of my favourite writers. I am always impressed by his magnificient story-telling of the seas, underwater world, ships and naval vehicles with technological advancements. In this year’s book fair I have bought a couple dozen of his remaining books including Corsair, newly printed in turkish as “Korsan Gemisi”. I’ll close the gap in my long reading season. In the meantime I’ll watch the movie “African Adventure” or “Sahara” which was inspired from his novel “Sahara”.
