Mavi Melekler

by Chingiz Abdullayev, Əli Əkbər (Translator)

Azerbaycan Edebiyatı'nın öncü isimlerinden biri olan Abdullayev, KGB'de görevinden istifa ettikten sonra polisiye türünde yazdığı eserlerle dünya çapında bir üne kavuştu. Deniyimlerine dayanarak kaleme aldığı Mavi Melekler uluslararası uyuşturucu şebekelerine karşı SSCB ve İnterpolün işbirliği içinde yürüttüğü operasyonların iç işleyişini açığa vurduğu için yasaklandı. Glasnost devrinin başlamasıyla yayınlanmasına izin verildi. Büyük bir yankı uyandırdı.

Türk okurunun Araftan Kurtuluş isimli eseriyle tanıdığı Abdullayev bu kitabında beyaz ölüm tacirlerine karşı, siyah giysililerin verdiği mücadelelerin izsürücüsü olmak isteyenlere damıtılmış bir heyecan vadediyor.

Just wanted to read it off so that it didn’t stare at me in the bookshelf and make me feel guilty. A silly habit, I know :)

Not much gained from the book, which I predicted prior to reading. Mainly seems to serve the spread of the writer’s political stance.
