Yilgun, please let me know what books you have read by him. Tesekkurler.

 

 

 

 

Safa’s novels favored spiritualism over rationalism, intuition over science, and most importantly East over West. In almost all his works, Safa put the blame on the West as a factor that introduced moral weaknesses and lack of faith into Turkish social life; and in each case he has pointed out to the correctness of the judgment of the East.

 

In almost all of his novels, Safa has undertaken psychological and sociological comparisons among periods, continents, ideologies, and traditions.

Thank you! It is certainly nice to know that you like my thoughts. I do not have a high formal education but I do try to think things out.

I have to say this plain truth:

 

Education is life experience and  background.

Life is a best teacher.
