THE LAST SURPRISE OF NAZIM HİKMET
One of the most skillful writers of Turkish poetry Nazım Hikmet's new poem was found.He wrote this poem in İstanbul Prison in 1938 and sent it to his wife,Piraye.
geldi dört güvercin suda yıkanmak için.
su mapushane yalağındaydı ve güneş güvercinlerin
gözünde,kanadında,kırmızı ayağındaydı.
girdi dört güvercin yıkanmak için suyun içine.
ve kederli toprakta dört insan
baktı dört güvercine.
güvercinler hep beraber
güneşi taşıyıpkırmızı ayaklarında uçabilirler.
durdurmaz onları demir ve duvar.
güvercinlerin yumuşak kanatları var.
ve kanatlar şimdi burada,şimdi damın üzerinde.
insanların kanatları yok
insanların kanatları yüreklerinde.
dört güvercin güneşe varmak için
yıkandı,uçtu sudan....

Piraye's grandchild Kerem Bengü and his wife Zeynep Bengü are living in Piraye's house.From time to time,they overview some of these records.By this way,they found some notebooks.On these notebooks,the drafts of his 3 discontinued novels were written.


In one of her letters,Piraye approximately wrote these to Nazım Hikmet; "When you get bored,take a notebook,begin to write and relieve yourself." On his every 3 notebooks' entrance pages,Piraye's these words were written in quotation marks.Nazım Hikmet wrote these novels in order to obey Piraye's advice.He wrote 20-30 pages and gave up writing.


One of these drafts was very interesting.Its name is ,"Zeytin ve İncir Adası".It describes an island like Tenedos or Imbros.In this novel,there are Greek heroes.Considering its subject,the draft of this novel is extremely interesting.As is known,later,Yaşar Kemal work on a similar subject.In his novel, "Fırat Suyu Kan Akıyor Baksana",again such an island is described.For this reason,there occured an impression as if these writers thought the same things at different times.
