Elif Şafak Instagram - The book she is reading during the widespread protests in Turkey is Jean Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract, which argued in 1762 that equality and freedom and dignity are essential pillars of any society. Turkey deserves and needs democracy, rule of law, separation of powers, respect for pluralism. Not authoritarianism. #democracymatters 📚📚📚 okuduğu kitap Jean Jacques Rousseau'dan Toplumsal Sözleşme, 1762 tarihinde yazılmış eserin altını çizdiği evrensel hakikat: bireyler eşit ve özgür biçimde toplumu inşa ederler. Demokrasi, hukuk devleti, çoğulculuğa saygı binlerce, on binlerce, milyonlarca insanın ortak dileği  #ekremimamoğlu
Elif Şafak Instagram - Silver Bestseller Award for The Island of Missing Trees. 

When I first started writing this novel, and I realised  there was going to be a tree at its centre and the tree was going to talk, I was terrified. It was a big risk. If the idea of a “talking tree” did not work, the entire novel could collapse, but I wanted to take this literary risk because I kept hearing the voice of the fig tree inside my head and inside my heart, day and night, and I believed in her, and I wanted to honour the stories of nature, alongside the stories of human beings, both joyful and painful. So for me, this is not an award about “best selling”, it’s not about numbers. For me it primarily means that the voice of the fig tree touched the hearts of many others and for that I am deeply grateful. #theislandofmissingtrees #booksarethebestgifts #writersandpoets #womenwhowrite #literaryfiction #fictionwriters #booksbooksbooks #elifshafak #bookclubstagram #readinguk #readwithme #booksuggestions 📚📚📚 romanım #kayıpağaçlaradası İngiltere'de Gümüş Edebiyat Ödülüne layık görüldü, çok teşekkür ediyorum bilhassa okurlara

Elif Şafak Instagram - I have some exciting news to share. Here is the US cover of my new novel #thereareriversinthesky My heartfelt thanks to the amazing team at @aaknopf for this most beautiful design and the pure love and dedication. This is the story of:
Three beguiling characters.
Two enchanting rivers.
One ancient poem. A magical tale spanning cultures, centuries and continents, all curiously connected by the Epic of Gilgamesh and a single, tiny drop of water. Thank you from the heart to the amazing @freemanreads cover design Linda Huang @lindahuang.me @penguinrandomhouse @jonnygeller @randomhouse @curtisbrowncreative #booklover #readmorewomen #newbookrelease #newbooktoread #booksarelove #worldliterature #literaryfiction #elifshafak #riversoftheworld #riversofinstagram #librosnuevos #booksarehome 📚📚📚 Yeni kapak, yeni roman, hiç eskimeyen bir tutku edebiyat. Okumak, yazmak, edebiyata ve sanata yürekten inanmak, birbirimize tutunmak... kalpten kalbe uzanan köprüler kurmak harflerden, kelimelerden. Ben Türkiye'deki okurlarımı çok düşünüyorum ve çok seviyorum.
Elif Şafak Instagram - May humanity, empathy, sisterhood, dignity, beauty and love rise in the new year. May we reconnect with each other beyond borders and may we reconnect with nature, our planet, our only home. We cannot afford to disconnect. Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and inspiring New Year. We believe in the life changing and life affirming power of literature. 
Happy New Year to all. #thereareriversinthesky #writersandpoets #womenwhowritefiction #thefortyrulesoflove 📚📚📚 insanlığa inancımızı ayakta tutabilmek ve daha iyi bir dünya kurma tutkumuzu yitirmemek için sanata, edebiyata ihtiyacımız var. Hepinize tüm kelimeperest ve edebiyatseverlere güzel, mutlu, ilham ve kitap dolu bir yol diliyorum
Elif Şafak Instagram - In 2022 Save The Children found out that 80% of children in Gaza suffered from deep emotional distress. Now? Even worse. Children are carrying the deepest traumas. As international community we have to push for humanitarian corridors, immediate ceasefire, a lasting peace, we need to come together to heal the wounds in the region. We have to contribute to healing, not to hatred. Children are traumatised. Children are dying. Please share any reliable good humanitarian international organisations that you know of. Let’s amplify good and positive and humanitarian efforts to heal the deepest wounds. (Photo via @npr ) #humanityfirst @savechildrenuk @savethechildren 📚📚📚 2022 senesinde Save The Children tarafından yapılan bir araştırma Gazze‘deki çocukların %80 inin çok ciddi ve derin duygusal bunalımlar taşıdıklarını ortaya koymuştu. Ve şimdi bu rakam tabii ki çok çok daha korkunç. büyük travmalar geçiriyor çocuklar. hepimizin sorumluluğu var uluslararası kamuoyu olarak. Şiddet değil, nefret değil, iyiliğe barışa iyileşmeye dair olmalı bütün çabalarımız ve söylemlerimiz. bunu çocuklara borçluyuz
Elif Şafak Instagram - At the British Museum, this was an extraordinary event with the great Mary Beard. Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening. Being in the presence of objects so impossibly old was profoundly inspiring.

Elif Şafak Instagram - I read the news from Gaza and the refugee camp with a very heavy heart, with immense sorrow. My heart goes out to all those innocent children caught up in this horrific war and violence, children who have nothing to do with politics. This week this powerful article was published in @guardian It is written by an amazing Afghan writer and women’s rights activist @zarlasht_halaimzai who tells us about what it was like to experience bombs and rockets as a child in Kabul, #Afghanistan. The horror and the trauma of enduring war through a child’s eyes. Thank you @zarlasht_halaimzai for writing and sharing. We urgently need humanitarian solidarity and aid. #humanityfirst #humankind 📚📚📚 bombalara, şiddete, savaşa masum bir çocuğun tanıklığı… bu önemli ve çarpıcı yazı The Guardian gazetesinde çıktı. Afgan yazar ve kadın hakları savunucusu @zarlasht_halaimzai tarafından kaleme alındı, kendi çocukluğundan ve Afganistan’da yaşadıklarından yola çıkarak savaşın masum çocukları nasıl ömür boyu travma altında bıraktığını anlattı. Gazze’de yaşanan yıkım ve acıyı büyük üzüntü ve çaresizlik içinde takip ederken muhakkak okunması gereken bir yazı olduğunu düşünüyorum #insanlık

Elif Şafak Instagram - 10 000 children were killed in 100 days in Gaza. Numbers do not fully express the depth of the trauma, the suffering, the immense sadness, the cycle of grief. Each “number” was someone’s most beloved son or daughter. I know many people across the world struggle to find the right words but we have to emphasize that always and always civilian lives must be protected. Children have to be protected. Humanity first. Coexistence is possible. Peace is possible. Love has to be stronger than hatred. Ceasefire now. (Photo credit @guardian ) @savethechildren @savechildrenuk 📚📚📚 100 günde 10 000 çocuk öldü Gazze’de. Rakamlarla konuşmak, rakamlarla anlatmak mümkün değil yaşanan travmanın boyutunu. Her bir “istatistik” bir can demek, birinin biricik evladı demek, çok büyük bir acı ve travma. Ateşkes. Ateşkes. Barış mümkün olmalı, olabilmeli.

Elif Şafak Instagram - United Nations today warns of a massive humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza as “1.1 million people cannot be relocated without devastating humanitarian consequences”. My heart hurts, my heart breaks for innocent children in #Gaza caught up in the midst of violence and war.
Elif Şafak Instagram - When a library is destroyed it is not only books, not only pages and words that are lost forever, it is also cultural memory, cultural heritage, the precious stories of ancestors. More than 18 000 people have been killed in Gaza, thousands of children were killed in this horrific war and indiscriminate bombing. The main library in Gaza is also completely destroyed. Humanity needs to demand ceasefire. (Photo via @washingtonpost @latimes ) #librariesoftheworld #libraries #humanityfirst #librariesmatter 📚📚📚 18.000’in üzerinde insan öldü Gazze’de, korkunç bir acı ve yıkım. Ve kütüphaneler… yok edilen, binlerce kitap… sadece sayfalar değil yitip giden, bir toplumun, bir kültürün kolektif hafızası, kuşak kuşak biriken koca bir kültür de tarumar edilmekte.

Elif Şafak Instagram - I struggle to find the words to write. A young, brilliant Ugandan female athlete was murdered in cold blood in Kenya by a man whose cruelty knew no bounds. The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya'da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil.  Kenya'da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya'yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye'nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli. Bıkmadan usanmadan #kadınayönelikşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır

Elif Şafak Instagram - Imprisoned for defending #genderequality and #womensrights for supporting most basic and universal human rights. I find it very important that the brave and remarkable Narges Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. For so many years and decades she has defended human rights for all, although at tremendous and heartbreaking personal costs. She must be released immediately. ALL human rights activists held in prison in Iran (surely in Turkey as well) must be released.

Elif Şafak Instagram - "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness" wrote George Orwell. We need to rethink these powerful words and rephrase them: We shall meet in the place where we can light a candle together, in the place where we can find and grow hope. We shall meet in love, light, empathy, democracy. My motherland Türkiye needs and deserves democracy. Not authoritarianism. The detention of Istanbul's charismatic mayor #ekremimamoglu is completely wrong, unlawful, unacceptable.  We cannot be silent. Democracy means respect for pluralism, rule of law, human rights, equality and dignity. Today women and youth are at the heart of the protests, raise your voice to support democracy  #ekremimamoglu 📚📚📚 "karanlığın olmadığı yerde bir gün seninle buluşacağız" diye yazmıştı George Orwell, bizler bir mum yakabildiğimiz, bir ışık tutabildiğimiz, birbirimize ses olabildiğimiz yerde buluşacağız, buluşuyoruz bugün ve her zaman demokrasi için #ekremimamoğlu bu yapılanlar çok büyük bir haksızlık. Bu güzel ve can ülke demokrasiyi hak ediyor, çoğulculuğa ve insana ve eşitliğe saygıyı, sessiz kalamayız @ekremimamoglu (photo @reuters) #demokrasi
Elif Şafak Instagram - A much loved Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided by the police in Israel and the booksellers were arrested and books were confiscated. This is unacceptable, totally wrong but it did not get enough attention in international media. Bookshops are among our last remaining spaces of free speech, cultural dialogue, empathy and connectivity. While I am glad that the bookseller Mahmood Muna and his young nephew were released today, I find it important that we raise our voices also for cultural spaces, bookshops and libraries. They must be protected and respected. I know this sounds like a "luxury" amidst such immense human suffering , but protecting booksellers and bookshops is important not only for a small literary community but whole humanity. I am attaching a statement put out by the Edinburgh Book Festival that explains in further detail what happened @edbookfest 📚📚📚 Kudüs'te çok sevilen Filistinli bir kitapevine İsrail polisinin baskın yapması, kitapçıları tutuklaması, kitaplara el koyup suç unsuru muamelesi yapması kabul edilemez, yanlış ve hazin. Bunca acı elem ve ölüm arasında kitapevlerini konuşmak zor ama kütüphanelere, kültürel ve edebi alanlara ve kitapevlerine sahip çıkmak önemli.

Elif Şafak Instagram - This is the famous Sycamore Gap Tree—it is an iconic tree, much loved and treasured. It was at least 300 years old. Imagine all the history it has witnessed! And it was also known as Robin Hood Tree, ever since it was featured in the film. This gorgeous, beautiful tree that held so many stories and memories was felled in a deliberate act of vandalism. They came, they killed the tree and then ran away. It just broke my heart. Why this hatred towards nature? The earth feeds us. The Mother Tree. Thank you @robgmacfarlane for sharing your words. #booksandnature #ourplanetourhome #writersandpoets 📚📚📚 Tam 300 senelik bir ağaç bu—Robin Hood ağacı. filmlerde yer almış, hakkında kitaplar makaleler yazılmış. 3 asır boyu kimbilir nelere tanık olmuş.

Elif Şafak - 9.9K Likes - The book she is reading during the widespread protests in Turkey is Jean Jacques Rousseau's The Social Contract, which argued in 1762 that equality and freedom and dignity are essential pillars of any society. Turkey deserves and needs democracy, rule of law, separation of powers, respect for pluralism. Not authoritarianism. #democracymatters 📚📚📚 okuduğu kitap Jean Jacques Rousseau'dan Toplumsal Sözleşme, 1762 tarihinde yazılmış eserin altını çizdiği evrensel hakikat: bireyler eşit ve özgür biçimde toplumu inşa ederler.

Caption : The book she is reading during the widespread protests in Turkey is Jean Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract, which argued in 1762 that equality and freedom and dignity are essential pillars of any society. Turkey deserves and needs democracy, rule of law, separation of powers, respect for pluralism. Not authoritarianism. #democracymatters 📚📚📚 okuduğu kitap Jean Jacques Rousseau’dan Toplumsal Sözleşme, 1762 tarihinde yazılmış eserin altını çizdiği evrensel hakikat: bireyler eşit ve özgür biçimde toplumu inşa ederler.

Elif Şafak - 9.7K Likes - Silver Bestseller Award for The Island of Missing Trees. 

When I first started writing this novel, and I realised  there was going to be a tree at its centre and the tree was going to talk, I was terrified. It was a big risk. If the idea of a “talking tree” did not work, the entire novel could collapse, but I wanted to take this literary risk because I kept hearing the voice of the fig tree inside my head and inside my heart, day and night, and I believed in her, and I wanted to honour the stories of nature, alongside the stories of human beings, both joyful and painful. So for me, this is not an award about “best selling”, it’s not about numbers. For me it primarily means that the voice of the fig tree touched the hearts of many others and for that I am deeply grateful. #theislandofmissingtrees #booksarethebestgifts #writersandpoets #womenwhowrite #literaryfiction #fictionwriters #booksbooksbooks #elifshafak #bookclubstagram #readinguk #readwithme #booksuggestions 📚📚📚 romanım #kayıpağaçlaradası İngiltere'de Gümüş Edebiyat Ödülüne layık görüldü, çok teşekkür ediyorum bilhassa okurlara

Elif Şafak - 6.4K Likes - At the British Museum, this was an extraordinary event with the great Mary Beard. Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening. Being in the presence of objects so impossibly old was profoundly inspiring.

This week this powerful article was published in @guardian It is written by an amazing Afghan writer and women’s rights activist @zarlasht_halaimzai who tells us about what it was like to experience bombs and rockets as a child in Kabul, #Afghanistan. The horror and the trauma of enduring war through a child’s eyes. Thank you @zarlasht_halaimzai for writing and sharing. We urgently need humanitarian solidarity and aid. #humanityfirst #humankind 📚📚📚 bombalara, şiddete, savaşa masum bir çocuğun tanıklığı… bu önemli ve çarpıcı yazı The Guardian gazetesinde çıktı. Afgan yazar ve kadın hakları savunucusu @zarlasht_halaimzai tarafından kaleme alındı, kendi çocukluğundan ve Afganistan’da yaşadıklarından yola çıkarak savaşın masum çocukları nasıl ömür boyu travma altında bıraktığını anlattı. Gazze’de yaşanan yıkım ve acıyı büyük üzüntü ve çaresizlik içinde takip ederken muhakkak okunması gereken bir yazı olduğunu düşünüyorum #insanlık

Each “number” was someone’s most beloved son or daughter. I know many people across the world struggle to find the right words but we have to emphasize that always and always civilian lives must be protected. Children have to be protected. Humanity first. Coexistence is possible. Peace is possible. Love has to be stronger than hatred. Ceasefire now. (Photo credit @guardian ) @savethechildren @savechildrenuk 📚📚📚 100 günde 10 000 çocuk öldü Gazze’de. Rakamlarla konuşmak, rakamlarla anlatmak mümkün değil yaşanan travmanın boyutunu. Her bir “istatistik” bir can demek, birinin biricik evladı demek, çok büyük bir acı ve travma. Ateşkes. Ateşkes. Barış mümkün olmalı, olabilmeli.

The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya'da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil.  Kenya'da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya'yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye'nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli. Bıkmadan usanmadan #kadınayönelikşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır

O ve tüm hak savunucuları bir an önce özgür bırakılmalı. Sadece İran’da değil Türkiye’de de hapislere atılan tüm insan hakları savunucuları. #insanhakları #kadınhakları #kadınyaşamözgürlük

We need to rethink these powerful words and rephrase them: We shall meet in the place where we can light a candle together, in the place where we can find and grow hope. We shall meet in love, light, empathy, democracy. My motherland Türkiye needs and deserves democracy. Not authoritarianism. The detention of Istanbul's charismatic mayor #ekremimamoglu is completely wrong, unlawful, unacceptable.  We cannot be silent.

This is unacceptable, totally wrong but it did not get enough attention in international media. Bookshops are among our last remaining spaces of free speech, cultural dialogue, empathy and connectivity. While I am glad that the bookseller Mahmood Muna and his young nephew were released today, I find it important that we raise our voices also for cultural spaces, bookshops and libraries. They must be protected and respected. I know this sounds like a "luxury" amidst such immense human suffering , but protecting booksellers and bookshops is important not only for a small literary community but whole humanity. I am attaching a statement put out by the Edinburgh Book Festival that explains in further detail what happened @edbookfest 📚📚📚 Kudüs'te çok sevilen Filistinli bir kitapevine İsrail polisinin baskın yapması, kitapçıları tutuklaması, kitaplara el koyup suç unsuru muamelesi yapması kabul edilemez, yanlış ve hazin. Bunca acı elem ve ölüm arasında kitapevlerini konuşmak zor ama kütüphanelere, kültürel ve edebi alanlara ve kitapevlerine sahip çıkmak önemli.

And it was also known as Robin Hood Tree, ever since it was featured in the film. This gorgeous, beautiful tree that held so many stories and memories was felled in a deliberate act of vandalism.

Elif Şafak - 3.6K Likes - My heart is singing with gratitude after a beautiful book launch full of love and literary camaraderie. Thank you to everyone who came to @hatchardspiccadilly to celebrate #thereareriversinthesky It was truly wonderful to see you all. Afterwards many people told me there was such a loving energy in the room, both gentle and strong. I don't have photos of everyone who was there, I'd have loved to, I'll be sharing the ones I have received, I will be sharing them with love. #bookloversworld #literaturelovers #womenwhowrite #writersandpoets #newbookrelease #newfiction #literaryfiction #literaryfictionbooks 📚📚📚 dünkü kitap lansmanı o kadar güzel ve içten, sevgi dolu bir akşamdı ki yüreğimde yeri apayrı, çok teşekkür ediyorum gelen herkese. Bu sabah bu fotoğraflar ulaştı elime sevgiyle paylaşıyorum
