The Amok Runners

Product Information

Sonuçta hepimiz bir yerde pişmanlıklar yaşamış insanlarız ama kitabı okurken doktoru bu raddeye getiren bu pişmanlık ve kısmende doktorun tutkusu beni çok şaşırttı. Çünkü gerçekten çok yoğundu. Bir insan bu raddeye nasıl gelir diye düşündüm. Başka birinden okusam belki bu beni rahatsız edebilirdi ama Zweig'dan okuyunca öyle olmuyor. Çünkü onun hisleri böylesine yoğun anlatmasına, duyguyu böylesine geçirmesine oldukça alıştım ve bunu seviyorum da. Üstelik doktorun yaşadığı bu durumu anlatan bir hastalıkta olması durumu oldukça inandırıcı kılıyor 'Amok'. Genellikle Malezya halkında rastlanan, öldürücü bir delilik hali Amok. Doktorda yaşadığı durum karşısında bu deliliğin pençesine düşüyor.

It was published in 1922, and it was an immediate great success and was translated into several languages immediately. During the interwar years, Zweig was the author who was most translated into other languages, worldwide. I think this is the most important fact that may act in his defence. His writings were welcomed by many different cultures. His mind was as cosmopolitan as it could be. Zweig'ın karakterleri hislerini hep yoğun yaşıyor. Bu kitapla birlikte buna artık kesin kanaat getirdim. Bilinmeyen Bir Kadının Mektubu'nda aşkı doruk noktasında yaşayan bir kadın, Yakıcı Sır'da tutkuyu ve şehveti doruk noktasında yaşayıp onun için her şeyi yapan bir adam, Amok Koşucusu'nda da pişmanlığı en uç noktada yaşayan bir adam vardı örneğin.

Discover the tragic events of a doctor who faces an existential crisis in a small, remote seaside town.The prose makes the book remarkable, way, way above the ordinary. The atmosphere drawn is beautiful, captivating, enticing—it makes the reader need to know more. One begs for the whole story. The man there with the pipe opens his heart and tells his story to the novella’s unnamed narrator. Concerning the plot, I need say nothing more….except one thing. The figure with the pipe is a doctor. This one novel, however, may, controversially, hurt the politically- conscientious individual from the twenty-first century. The people of the villages know that no power can halt a man running amok, so they shout warnings ahead when they see —him coming—‘Amok! Amok!’—and everyone flees…but he runs on without hearing, without seeing, striking down anything he meets… until he is either shot dead like a mad dog or collapses of his own accord, still frothing at the mouth… In contemporary Indonesia, the term amok ( amuk) generally refers not to individual violence, but to frenzied violence by mobs. Indonesians now commonly use the term 'gelap mata' (literally 'darkened eyes') to refer to individual amok. Laurens van der Post experienced the phenomenon in the East Indies and wrote in 1955:

Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide. On June 15, 2009 Colin Cotterill received the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library award for being "the author of crime fiction whose work is currently giving the greatest enjoyment to library users". And Zweig ha set it again in his favourite settings, a public place. This time it is a ship, like in Chess Story. Other times it is a hotel ( The Post-Office Girl, Burning Secret), or a Casino ( Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman), or a post office (Post Office Girl, again), or a train (Burning Secret, again), or even through transit mechanisms ( Letter from an Unknown Woman). These are public places where people, anonymous to each other, meet. This is the land of Hazard. Chance explains the unexpected encounters and anonymity encourages people to open up their harts to foreigners. Like in the the doctor’s couch – the twentieth century version of the Confessional. One can hear the most intimate stories told willingly and candidly.And for its continuing relevance, I will only add that the main subject of Amok remains as timeless as are the human passions.

I love both of Colin Cotterill's series which feature ex-journalist Jimm Juree and Dr. Siri Paiboun. He has a wonderful sense of humor, and I've learned so much about the people and culture of Thailand and Laos. Unfortunately, The Amok Runners is a bit of a hot mess. Let me explain after a short digression. a b "Amok syndrome: causes, symptoms and treatment • Psychology Says". psychologysays.net. 2021-03-21. Archived from the original on 2022-10-02 .

We have seen it in, for example, Boccaccio and in the 1001 Nights.
