Abstract:

The wise Karasu, in the evening of a long day, deals with the question of faith by the monks and the search for the truth in this axis. The first story of the book, "Ada", gives questions of the faith of Andronikos, a young priest who tries to recognize himself by broken between the old and the new around the Picture/Iconaclasm movement in the Byzantine Empire. Andronikos asks himself about accepting or rejecting sculpturality between the old and the new, and goes to the island. It is also important that there is an island in history. Because the island is a place where a person can be directed to himself as a restrictive and narrow place in the discovery of himself. Andricos is looking to explore himself on the island. The questioning of faith in the story is combined with the questioning of self. Andronikos actually discovers himself in questioning his faith in God. This occurs with isolation, loneliness and return from the social space.

Abstract:

Evening of a Long Driving Day, Bilge Karasu processes the monks' questioning of faith and searching for truth on this axis. Around the movement of iconoclasm / iconoclasm, Andronikos, a young priest who tries to get to know himself by faltering between the old and the new, is questioned on faith. Andronikos questions himself about accepting or refusing picture breaks between the old and the new and retires to the island. It is also meaningful in the story that the place is an island. Because the island, as a limiting and narrow space in one's self-discovery, is a space that can provide one's own orientation. Andrikos seeks to discover himself on the island. In the story, the question of faith is combined with the question of self. Andronikos is also looking for self-discovery on the island. This is achieved through isolation, isolation and return from the social sphere.
