Bana kitab\u0131 verirken, \u201cKitap belki sana geri gelir\u201d demi\u015fti. O zaman s\u00f6zlerinin \u00fczerinde durmam\u0131\u015ft\u0131m.

Muayenehanede<\/strong><\/p>\nD\u00f6nelim doktora. Mahalle doktorum \u0130ranl\u0131 bir Ermeni\u2019ydi.

Doktorum hem\u015fireyi \u00e7a\u011f\u0131rarak geri kalan randevular\u0131n\u0131 iptal etti sonra bana d\u00f6n\u00fcp, \u201cArt\u0131k rahat konu\u015fabiliriz\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
Surmelian\u2019\u0131n kitab\u0131 kat\u0131, kuralc\u0131 \u0130ngilizlerin program\u0131n\u0131 alt\u00fcst etmi\u015fti. O g\u00fcn bir saate yak\u0131n sohbet ettik.

Karde\u015finin e-mail adresini verdi, \u201cYaz ona, kitapla ilgilenece\u011finden eminim.

Karde\u015fi ile yaz\u0131\u015ft\u0131k. Kitab\u0131 bulmakta zorluk \u00e7ekiyordu. Ben ula\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131m adresleri verdim, kendisi de kendi kanallar\u0131n\u0131 denemeye karar verdi ve sonunda kitab\u0131n eski tarihli bir n\u00fcshas\u0131n\u0131 buldu. O da b\u00fcy\u00fck bir fiyat \u00f6demi\u015fti.

\u201cKitab\u0131 oku. Ben defalarca okudum\u201d demi\u015fti David Lane. Okudum defalarca. Son kez Aras Kitabevi\u2019nde foto\u011fraf \u00e7ekmeye gitti\u011fim g\u00fcn T\u00fcrk\u00e7e \u00e7evirisini g\u00f6rd\u00fckten sonra da, ge\u00e7mi\u015fi hissederek, gelece\u011fe korku ile bakarak bir kez daha okudum.<\/p>\n
Surmelian\u2019\u0131n kitab\u0131 ne bir g\u00fcnceydi ne de ya\u015fanm\u0131\u015f olaylar\u0131n romanla\u015ft\u0131r\u0131lm\u0131\u015f haliydi. Kitap, 1915\u2019te Trabzon\u2019daki evini, annesi ve babas\u0131n\u0131 terk ederek sa\u011f kalmak i\u00e7in aile yuvas\u0131ndan ka\u00e7an 10 ya\u015f\u0131ndaki bir \u00e7ocu\u011fun, hayatta kalmak i\u00e7in \u00f6l\u00fcm kal\u0131m m\u00fccadelesi verdi\u011fi inan\u0131lmaz ser\u00fcveniydi. Kitab\u0131n dilinde ne kin ve nefret, ne d\u00fc\u015fmanl\u0131k ve intikam ne de k\u00fcsk\u00fcnl\u00fck vard\u0131. Surmelian\u2019\u0131n ser\u00fcveni kitaptan \u00e7ok bir belgeseli, ger\u00e7ek\u00e7i bir filmi, bir hayat dram\u0131n\u0131 ve insan sevgisini yans\u0131t\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n
Zaten g\u00fczel dedi\u011fimiz, hayranl\u0131kla, heyecanla, kendimizi kapt\u0131rarak soluksuz, izledi\u011fimiz filmler de ger\u00e7ek hayat\u0131, ya\u015fanm\u0131\u015f insan dramlar\u0131n\u0131 yans\u0131tm\u0131yor mu?<\/p>\n
