Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind. As Virginia Woolf's most powerful and pioneer feminist essay, A Room of One's Own focuses on the subject going on over the centuries: woman and literature. In the book, based on a lecture given at Girton College, Woolf lays emphasis on the male-dominated literary world and invites both women and men to consider upon this inequality.

Es war einmal eine stolze Teekanne, stolz auf ihr Porzellan, stolz auf ihre lange Tülle, stolz auf ihren breiten Henkel; sie hatte etwas vorne an und hinten an, den Henkel hinten, die Tülle vorn, und davon sprach sie; aber sie sprach nicht von ihrem Deckel, der war zerbrochen, der war gekittet, der hatte einen Fehler, und von seinen Fehlern spricht man nicht gerne, das tun die andern genug. Tassen, Sahnekännchen und Zuckerdose, das ganze Teegeschirr würde wohl mehr an die Gebrechlichkeit des Deckels denken

Es war einmal ein armer Prinz; er hatte nur ein ganz kleines Königreich; aber es war immer groß genug, um sich darauf zu verheiraten, und verheiraten wollte er sich. Nun war es freilich etwas keck von ihm, dass er zur Tochter des Kaisers zu sagen wagte: Willst du mich haben? Aber er wagte es doch, denn sein Name war weit und breit berühmt; es gab hundert Prinzessinnen, die gerne ja gesagt hätten; aber ob sie es tat? Nun, wir wollen hören. Bir zamanlar yoksul bir prens varmış. Bir tek küçük bir krallığı var

Es zog einmal eine große Karawane durch die Wüste. Auf der ungeheuren Ebene, wo man nichts als Sand und Himmel sieht, hörte man schon in weiter Ferne die Glocken der Kamele und die silbernen Röllchen der Pferde, eine dichte Staubwolke, die ihr vorherging, verkündete ihre Nähe, und wenn ein Luftzug die Wolke teilte, blendeten funkelnde Waffen und helleuchtende Gewänder das Auge. Bir zamanlar çölden geçen büyük bir kervan varmış. Gökyüzünden ve kumdan başka bir şey görülmeyen devasa büyüklükteki düzlükte uza

Es kam ein Soldat die Landstraße dahermar- schiert: Eins, zwei! Eins, zwei! Er hatte seinen Tor- nister auf dem Rücken und einen Säbel an der Sei- te, denn er war im Kriege gewesen und wollte nun heim. Da traf er eine alte Hexe auf dem Wege. Sie war garstig, ihre Unterlippe hing ihr bis auf die Brust hinab. Evine doğru uygun adım yürüyen bir asker çıkagelmiş. Bir, iki! Bir, iki! Sırtında çantası, belinde kılıcı varmış. Çünkü savaşa katılmış ve şimdi evine dönmek istiyormuş. Derken yolda yaşlı bir büyücüye

Vor vielen Jahren lebte ein Kaiser, der so ungeheuer viel auf neue Kleider hielt, dass er all sein Geld dafür ausgab, um recht geputzt zu sein. Er kümmerte sich nicht um seine Soldaten, kümmerte sich nicht um Theater und liebte es nicht, in den Wald zu fahren, außer um seine neuen Kleider zu zeigen. Er hatte einen Rock für jede Stunde des Tages, und ebenso wie man von einem König sagte, er ist im Rat, so sagte man hier immer: Der Kaiser ist in der Garderobe! Yıllar yıllar önce aklı hep yeni elbiselerde ola

Ihsan Oktay Anar's 1996 novella, The Book of Devices, is a skeleton key to the ever-inventive author's fictional world set in the Ottoman times. Here are the wonderful histories of the triumphs and tribulations of three Ottoman inventors, as reported by the narrators of events and relators of traditions. By turns humorous and touching, these interlinked stories are nutshells of vividly imagined past. While we follow Yafes Chelebi and his two successors in their search for the secret of the perpetual motion,
