In Othello, Shakespeare creates a powerful drama of a marriage that begins with fascination (between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona), with elopement, and with intense mutual devotion and that ends precipitately with jealous rage and violent deaths. He sets this story in the romantic world of the Mediterranean, moving the action from Venice to the island of Cyprus and giving it an even more exotic coloring with stories of Othello's African past. Shakespeare builds so many differences into his hero and heroine—differences of race, of age, of cultural background—that one should not, perhaps, be surprised that the marriage ends disastrously. But most people who see or read the play feel that the love that the play presents between Othello and Desdemona is so strong that it would have overcome all these differences were it not for the words and actions of Othello's standard-bearer, Iago, who hates Othello and sets out to destroy him by destroying his love for Desdemona. As Othello succumbs to Iago's insinuations that Desdemona is unfaithful, fascination—which dominates the early acts of the play—turns to horror, especially for the audience. We are confronted by spectacles of a generous and trusting Othello in the grip of Iago's schemes; of an innocent Desdemona, who has given herself up entirely to her love for Othello only to be subjected to his horrifying verbal and physical assaults, the outcome of Othello's mistaken convictions about her faithlessness.

Haldun Taner, Ayışığında Şamata oyunu ile, toplumdaki yanlış koşullandırmaları irdeleme ve doğru olarak algılanması gereken gerçekleri maskeleyen "yalan" balonlarını delme eyleminin çarpıcı bir örneğini vermektedir.Oyunda iki kez anlatılan öykü, iki ayrı perdede yansıyan karşıt bakış açıları doğrultusunda değişim gösterir.Ayışığında Şamata'nın ilk perdesinde, tüm sorunların çözümsüz kaldığı "istenmeyen gerçekler", ikinci perdesinde ise seyircinin yürekten benimsediği "yalanlar" sergilenir.

“Haldun Taner’in en usta yapıtlarından biri olan “Sersem Kocanın Kurnaz Karısı”, Molière’in birçok piyesini Türkçeye adapte etmiş devlet adamı Ahmet Vefik Paşa üzerinedir. Paşa, Bursa’da vali iken kendi başına bir tiyatro kurmuş, Türk ve Ermenilerden oluşan aktörlerini bizzat yönetmişti. Üç perde boyunca Molière’in Georges Dandin’inden sahneleri üç ayrı üslup varyasyonu içinde izleriz. Bunun sonucu, bugünkü Türkiye’deki çeşitli oyun üsluplarının bir parodisidir. Taner’in tercih ve sevgisinin geleneksel Türk tuluat tiyatrosundan yana olduğu ustaca işleyişinin içinde sezilir.” (Metin And)Zaten aktör dediğin nedir ki? Oynarken varızdır. Yok olunca da sesimiz bu boş kubbede bir hoş seda olarak kalır. Bir zaman sonra da unutulur gider. Olsa olsa eski program dergilerinde soluk birer hayal olur kalırız. Görorum hepiniz gardroba koşmaya hazırlanorsunuz. Birazdan teatro bomboş kalacak. Ama teatro işte o zaman yaşamaya başlar. Çünkü Satenik’in bir şarkısı şu perdelerden birine takılı kalmıştır. Benim bir tiradım şu pervaza sinmiştir. Hıranuş’la Virjinya’nın bir diyalogu eski kostümlerin birinin yırtığına sığınmıştır. İşte bu hatıralar, o sessizlikte saklandıkları yerden çıkar, bir fısıltı halinde yine sahneye dökülürler. Artık kendimiz yoğuz. Seyircilerimiz de kalmadı. Ama repliklerimiz, fısıldaşır dururlar sabaha kadar. Gün ağarır, temizleyiciler gelir, replikler yerlerine kaçışır. Perde.

The Ballad of Ali of Keshan is an epic play by Haldun Taner. This is the story of a man from a shantytown in Instanbul who was thrown into jail for a crime he did not commit, but who becomes a hero for his alleged murder of a much hated bully. He assumes the personality that his environment forces upon him, and at the end, he actually becomes a murderer. Although the story takes place in a shantytown, the play is a satire on the big city with its political machines, bureaucracy, mass hysteria, sentimental love, and myths.

Haldun Taner, “Gözlerimi Kaparım Vazifemi Yaparım”ın iki kahramanı Vicdani ile Efruz’un şahsında 20. yüzyıl Türkiye’sinin analizini yapıyor. Karagöz’lerle Hacivat’lara uzak yakın aynalar tutarak ‘gözlerimi kaparım vazifemi yaparım’ anlayışına tatlı-sert dokunuyor.“Gözlerimi Kaparım Vazifemi Yaparım”ın ana teması da bir yanlış koşullandırma. Oyunun ekseni, küçük ezik bir adam. Kapsadığı süre, yakın tarihimizin yetmiş yılı. Dekoru, Türkiye ve Yakındoğu haritası. 31 Mart’tan 12 Mart’a kadar oynanan siyasi oyunların zengin arka fonu önünde çeşitli dönemlerin, çeşitli koşullandırma evrelerinin kurbanı bir küçük, bir ezik adamın acı komedyasını izliyoruz, on beş tablo boyunca.” (Haldun Taner)“Çok soylu bir tiyatro eseri bu. Üstelik Haldun Taner o cesur ama cesaretini kabul ettirmesini iyi bilen; taşlayıcı ama kırmadan taşlayıcı, tatlı, yumuşak üslubu ile bu güzel eserini büsbütün güçlü kılmış. Tiyatro geçmişimizin bütün olanaklarından –Karagöz, tuluat, kanto gibi– bilge bir ustalıkla yararlanan Taner, gerçekten ilgi çekici, uyarıcı ve başarılı bir sonuca ulaşmış.” (Çetin A.

Nerden başlasam bilemedim. "Bir margarita, bir margaritaya, bre margarita, gel seninle margaristanda, bir margarin dükkanı açalım mı?"Bir Türk, Çarşamba'dan çıkar 10 üzerinden 3'lük(fazla mı verdim?) bir İngilizce ile Teksas'a tam olarak Dallas'a -Ceyar'gilin orası- giderse ne olur, başından neler geçer onun hikayesi. Türkiye'den çıkarken yaptığı gün hesabından başlayıp ülkeye dönüp bavul beklediği ana kadar eğlenerek okuduğum güzel bir anı kitabı.Not: Kitapta bahsi geçen (fıstıkların yere atıldığı bar) Billy Miner kapanmış.

İş kazası, trafik kazası gibi çok görülmeye başlandı aşk kazası! Canım sıkılınca bir sigara yakıyorum. İçince öksürüyorum, öksürünce tükürüyorum, tükürünce damağım kuruyor, hemen şarap içiyorum, fakat bütün bunların bende bir alışkanlık yapmasından korkuyorum. Bu düşünce bende efkar yapıyor, hemen bir sigara yakıyorum, her efkarlandığımda sigara yakmamın bende bir alışkanlık olmasından korkuyorum. Ben canım sıkılınca sigara içiyorum ve yıllardır çok acayip sıkılıyor canım. Aptalların en akıllı tarafı, onlar hiç vakit kaybetmez, başkalarının vakit kaybetmez, başkalarının vakit kaybetmesini sağlar ve bu konuda harıl harıl çalışırlar! Hiç kitap okumayan birinin, hayatının sonunda kitap sayfası olan ağaçtan ne farkı var, kımıldayan canlı olarak? Siz siz olun, sinirinize mukayyet olun, sinirinizin kıymetini bilin. Sinirsizlik çok tehlikeli bir boyut. Gençliğimde gıcık olduğum amcalardanlaşmakta mıyım.

It's 1992. Colonna is offered a fee he can’t refuse to ghostwrite a memoir. His subject, Braggadocio, is convinced that Mussolini’s corpse was a body double and part of a wider Fascist plot.

Yambo, a sixtyish rare-book dealer who lives in Milan, has suffered a loss of memory-he can remember the plot of every book he has ever read, every line of poetry, but he no longer knows his own name, doesn't recognize his wife or his daughters, and remembers nothing about his parents or his childhood. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws to the family home somewhere in the hills between Milan and Turin. There, in the sprawling attic, he searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums, and adolescent diaries. And so Yambo relives the story of his generation: Mussolini, Catholic education and guilt, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and the life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the frames to capture one simple, innocent image: that of his first love. A fascinating, abundant novel-wide-ranging, nostalgic, funny, full of heart-from the incomparable Eco.

After a violent storm in the South Pacific in the year 1643, Roberto della Griva finds himself shipwrecked-on a ship. Swept from the Amaryllis, he has managed to pull himself aboard the Daphne, anchored in the bay of a beautiful island. The ship is fully provisioned, he discovers, but the crew is missing. As Roberto explores the different cabinets in the hold, he remembers chapters from his youth: Ferrante, his imaginary evil brother; the siege of Casale, that meaningless chess move in the Thirty Years' War in which he lost his father and his illusions; and the lessons given him on Reasons of State, fencing, the writing of love letters, and blasphemy.In this fascinating, lyrical tale, Umberto Eco tells of a young dreamer searching for love and meaning; and of a most amazing old Jesuit who, with his clocks and maps, has plumbed the secrets of longitudes, the four moons of Jupiter, and the Flood.

It is April 1204, and Constantinople, the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire, is being sacked and burned by the knights of the Fourth Crusade. Amid the carnage and confusion, one Baudolino saves a historian and high court official from certain death at the hands of the crusading warriors and proceeds to tell his own fantastical story.Born a simple peasant in northern Italy, Baudolino has two major gifts-a talent for learning languages and a skill in telling lies. When still a boy he meets a foreign commander in the woods, charming him with his quick wit and lively mind. The commander-who proves to be Emperor Frederick Barbarossa-adopts Baudolino and sends him to the university in Paris, where he makes a number of fearless, adventurous friends.Spurred on by myths and their own reveries, this merry band sets out in search of Prester John, a legendary priest-king said to rule over a vast kingdom in the East-a phantasmagorical land of strange creatures with eyes on their shoulders and mouths on their stomachs, of eunuchs, unicorns, and lovely maidens. With dazzling digressions, outrageous tricks, extraordinary feeling, and vicarious reflections on our postmodern age, this is Eco the storyteller at his brilliant best.

Foucault's Pendulum is divided into ten segments represented by the ten Sefiroth. The novel is full of esoteric references to the Kabbalah. The title of the book refers to an actual pendulum designed by the French physicist Léon Foucault to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, which has symbolic significance within the novel.Bored with their work, and after reading too many manuscripts about occult conspiracy theories, three vanity publisher employees (Belbo, Diotallevi and Casaubon) invent their own conspiracy for fun. They call this satirical intellectual game "The Plan," a hoax that connects the medieval Knights Templar with other occult groups from ancient to modern times. This produces a map indicating the geographical point from which all the powers of the earth can be controlled—a point located in Paris, France, at Foucault’s Pendulum. But in a fateful turn the joke becomes all too real.The three become increasingly obsessed with The Plan, and sometimes forget that it's just a game. Worse still, other conspiracy theorists learn about The Plan, and take it seriously. Belbo finds himself the target of a real secret society that believes he possesses the key to the lost treasure of the Knights Templar.Orchestrating these and other diverse characters into his multilayered semioticadventure, Eco has created a superb cerebral entertainment.
