{"product_id":"the-fugitive-of-gezi-park","title":"Fugitive of Gezi Park","description":"Ada is haunted by her yearning for Istanbul and by the scars of a nightlong interrogation following her arrest at the Gezi Park protests. Now in London temping at an art fair, she meets Lucian, an eccentric, charming but burnt-out gallerist. Since his divorce, Lucian has been relying on drugs and alcohol to mend his broken heart. Ada, meanwhile, dreads the verdict of her forthcoming trial in Istanbul. Day-by-day, as their passion deepens, they reassess their past choices, and their futures rapidly take shape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sensual, perceptive and at times bitingly funny, \u003ci\u003eThe Fugitive of Gezi Park\u003c\/i\u003e explores the nature of trauma and struggle, asking what it takes of us to start all over again.\n\nIn 2013, police brutality against a peaceful group protesting the destruction of Gezi Park - one of the few public green spaces in Istanbul - prompted an unprecedented wave of demonstrations which spread rapidly across Turkey, lasting several weeks. The Gezi Park Protests are a pivotal moment in the country's volatile recent history, and continue to carry huge sentimental value for the dissidents of the 'New Turkey.'","brand":"Ortac Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46730069147992,"sku":"","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781838388744.jpg?v=1764872136","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-fugitive-of-gezi-park","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
