"5 Bintang buat Covernya..wah menarik banged..agak sedikit ga jelas apa maksudnya tapi terlihat keren dan bagus..
Cerita tentang Seorang budak asal venesia dan Tuannya yang berasal dari Turki..pada awalnya mereka berdua adalah seorang ilmuwan yang belajar secara otodidak..namun Sang Tuan mulai dipercaya menjadi peramal bagi sang Sultan...Ia meramal dengan mengarang2 sebuah cerita dan menafsirkan mimpi sesuai dengan kehendaknya sendiri..
sebenernya ni cerita bikin pusing ya..apalagi saat membicarakan "kami"."aku adalah aku"..wah bikin gw berpikir keras..tapi yang gw tangkep adalah bagaimana kita berupaya untuk berintrospeksi diri..mengenang masa lalu kita dan mencoba untuk bercermin diri..
oiya sepanjang cerita khususnya menjelang akhir cerita gw juga mulai kebingungan untuk menentukan siapakah tokoh aku..karena Sang budak dan Tuannya suka betukar identitas diri..karena sang Tuan dan sang Budak merasa menjadi bagian dari yang lainnya..
nah ribet kan baca ripiu gw..gw ajah ribed bacanya..hehehehehe.."
whereas this book has clever moments (the same person, split in two and then multiplied in the imagination) about existential identity calling into question our shared vs. our unique individual nature, we should save ourselves the trouble and just stick with italo calvino books that make us sing as we read rather than just trudge drearily through
Dengan sudut pandang 'aku' adalah seorang budak dari venesia, buku ini menceritakan tentang bagaimana jika kita menjalani kehidupan orang lain.
sang 'aku' tertangkap oleh armada laut Turki, dan berkat kecerdasannya (serta akal bulusnya) ia menerima nasib yang lebih beruntung dari pada teman2 tawanan lainnya. setelah berhasil bertemu dengan sang sultan, ia yang semula tawanan, menjadi budak seorang cendikia Turki, Hoja. Dan tak dapat disangkal oleh keduanya, mereka benar2 berparas sama.
Kehidupan sang 'aku' serumah dengan Hoja, serta pemikiran juga ide2 gila Hoja mengisi hampir seluruh buku ini.
Buku ini (hampir) seluruhnya narasi. jadi agak2 malas membacanya. 100 halaman awal ceritanya masih kurang enarik, tapi seterusnya lumayan pnasaran untuk terus dibaca.
"I struggled through 103 pages of this book but just couldn't get into the characters or the storyline. I normally dump a book after 3 or 4 pages unless the story or the writing itself catches my imagination. This book I perservred with because I like 'My Name is Red'. I will save the last 40 pages for when I have run out of anything else to read."
