"Hibernation" Winter Sleep can first see the snow scene, winter in Turkey, thick snow, falling snowflakes swirl in the wind, piebald damp and cold air. People drive orange pickups, shuttle among them, get off, get on, from hotels to villages, from roads to horse farms, from places with snow to places without snow, and back to places with snow. The lighting in the interior is very comfortable, the table lamps, the natural light from the windows, the fire, hit the face, hit the wall, hit the well-designed interior. The sound of wood fire crackling, red hot tea, hot coffee, hot wine, steaming, wrapped in capes and coats, curled up on the sofa, sitting at the dining table, standing outside the window, sometimes chatting with strangers, other At times, talk to my sister, wife, and the housekeeper. The rest is to watch, feel the hotel, feel the land, and then write my own articles on the website.
"Hibernation" is slow, sometimes as if time and space stand still, life is ordinary, beautiful warm room, decent life, boring. It is precisely because of this slow speed that a stone that smashed the car window and slapped the child in the face suddenly made people tremble, and the hibernation would end sooner or later. .
The story is slow, except for the alarm clock that suddenly rings, and it cannot be fully understood until the end, the moment you wake up. Dislike each other, flee, blame, misunderstand, even if we understand, we will never be able to cross the boundary and make up the crack. Time is eternal and forward, Aiden looked at the dying hare, backed up the car and took a look at the village where he once lived. The village was covered under snow and seemed to be sleeping. Aiden turned around and continued with the housekeeper. Drive forward.
Aiden is a writer and a theater actor when he was young. He lives and writes in the ancestral rock hotel. His wife, Nihal, is young and beautiful. Nihal does not allow Aiden to participate in his project. There is already a gap in her marriage with Aiden, and the two are inseparable. Tenant conflicts in the village and his wife's philanthropy also fuel the relationship between Aiden and Nihal and his sister Nika.
In addition to writing, Aiden usually drives a pickup truck with the housekeeper around the nearby village. The son of the tenant, Ismail, threw a stone at Aiden's car window because of hatred. The housekeeper and Aiden came to the father of the child. Ismail's home, Ismail's hatred of the landlord Aiden and the whole world is even greater. It is not a conversation, a rent forbearance can be resolved, even if it is a relief and an expression of goodwill, it is powerless to change.
Aiden's wife Nihal brought a sum of money to Ismail's house in the middle of the night and wanted to chat with him. The most important thing is to give the money to the family. Chatting and understanding the situation can help the money. More justifiably. However, this is just Nihal's logic. Ismail's brain circuit belongs to the poor and has mutated into his own powerful and crazy style. The family and neighbors around him can't stand it, not to mention this pampered, very idealistic Mrs. The tension and spark between the two of them exploded at the moment of burning money. You can say that Ismail is stupid and does not know how to work around it, but you cannot deny his bravery and perseverance. This money is enough for them to buy a house and improve it. In life, this is equivalent to cutting off the meridians and not leaving a way out for yourself.
Why can't Ismail accept Nihar's kindness? He is full of anger at the world, and the rich, for Ismail, represent that ruthless world, and the pity from the rich is only a means of their self-satisfaction and imagination. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish. His wife gave him fish and he was comforted in his heart. Ismail still has no fishing gear and his means of survival are basically oppressed to zero, not to mention that even if he has a means of making a living, he does not have a fishing rod or fishing rod. the river. Ismail is a thug, a lunatic, and at the same time a victim of the entire social system and structure, the poor are not respected, the poor are excluded from each other, and Nihar cannot understand why Ismail cannot accept good intentions? Why don't you eat fish? Why not use your own strength and fishing skills to live a good life? Donations and alms are like Nihal's quick-acting pills, she feels miserable and has a rich life, but it seems that everything is out of her control, philanthropy makes her feel self-worth, Ismail's presence gives Nihal Howl is a redeemable illusion, such an illusion disillusioned when Ismail burns money, hatred for a long time, everything is just in vain, can't return to innocence, can't reach the other side.
Aiden talks to a lot of people, with old friends, with guests, with his wife. Among them, his conversation with his sister Nika was the most explicit and intense. Nika said that what he wrote was unprofessional, metaphysical, and could not understand the land and the people at all. Aiden said that Nika was boring, vicious and aggressive, difficult to get along with, the two hurt each other, and finally broke up. This kind of quarrel is not the first time.
Interestingly, the conversation between Aiden and teacher Levent at an old friend's house ended with each other's quotes, and the two sides were evenly matched. Levant used Shakespeare's words that cowards use their conscience to flaunt and deceive others as an excuse for incompetence. Aiden came back for a while, some people were exhausted, they got up every day full of passion and ideas, but they still had nothing to do all day. The nobles represented by Aiden and the weak represented by Levent are still opposed, and even if they understand, they still stick to their respective camps. Everyone in this world has to choose their own camp.
On the eve of leaving the hotel, Aiden wanted to say goodbye to Nika, who was in the cold war stage. He closed the door, and his wife still hated and blamed him. The wild horse rushed down the hill and disappeared around the corner. Aiden was willing to let go, he thought he could leave his wife too.
At the end of the story, Aiden didn't go to Istanbul, he went around, went to an old friend's house to drink hot wine, go hunting, and then drove back to the hotel, he knew his wife didn't love him anymore, he knew he couldn't go back, but when he left , he will miss Nihal, he can't live without his wife, even if everything is full of edges and corners, Aiden decides to go back to the hotel, back to Nihal, back to the office. It was still snowing outside the window. He turned on his computer and started writing a history of Turkish theatre.
