‘The Man Booker Prize’ is one of the most prestigious literary awards in the world, given every year since 1969.

The award, which was given primarily to works written in English by writers who were citizens of the British Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland, later began to be given internationally as well.

The award is given to jury members who change every year.

This year’s winner of the Booker Prize was German author Jenny Erpenbeck.

Erpenbeck was awarded the Booker Prize for his novel Kairos. Erpenbeck also made history as the first German to win this award.

Michael Hofmann, who translated the book from German to English, became the first male translator to win this award.

According to Diken, the Booker prize of 50 thousand pounds will be shared between the two.

It is stated that Hofmann, who translated the book, ‘captured the eloquence and eccentricity of Erpenbeck’s writing, the rhythm of his inverted sentences, and the breadth of his emotional vocabulary’.

“It’s been 30 years since the country of my birth was destroyed, so I dared to look back and take the time to carefully research what I experienced without really realizing it.”

Booker Prize winner Erpenbeck included these statements in his statement. Erpenbeck, who was deemed worthy of the award with his fourth novel, also took his place in the award lists with his second and third books.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes.

Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You?

Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
