NAZIM HİKMET AND VERA TULYAKOVA; BEYOND EVEN LOVE

10 October 2017 Tuesday 12:29

There was a 30-year age difference between Nazım and Vera. This relationship was a precursor of a tragic end from the beginning. Nazım Hikmet's heart attack, and his disease were further reinforced by the feeling that he had little time to live and to love.

Nazım Hikmet told about Vera that: "I spent a serious period of my life in prison. I've visualized a female image for seventeen years. It was a way of consoling my heart. What else can a person do in jail? I was constantly dreaming, visualizing a woman in my mind. And here it was, suddenly she came across to me."

Besides these, Vera knew that Nazım was very often falling in love. Therewithal, she was married and had a daughter. But despite all this, Vera married Nazım and served as a very happy source of life in the author's life. She inspired him with her love.

Nazım was writing poems for Vera, dedicating his poems to Vera. Vera was 31 years old when she lost him, the man who dreamed of her for seventeen years. She was visiting his tomb almost every day to ease the pain of losing him, and mentally talking to him about the unforgettable years they spent together. As just she said, "We started these conversations about two or three weeks after he left us."

And she set these conversations down in black and white. Thus, Vera Tulyakova-Hikmet's book "Bahtiyar ol Nazım" (The last conversation with Nazım, Posledniy razgovor s Nazymom  in Russian") was published.

Vera describes the biography of a passionate, courageous, honest, sensitive, beloved and loving author in the book. In terms of style, "The Last conversation with Nazım" - was written in the direction of the real events and facts of the poet in accordance with his personal life biography.

While reading the book "Bahtiyar Ol Nazım", written by Vera Tulyakova Hikmet, telling about the life of Nazım Hikmet and describing her memories about him, the reader discovers the unknown and unfulfilled sides of the author. I would recommend this book to everyone to read which is about a passionate love story

After reading the book, I decided to write a large article for Okur ve Gezer telling the love of Nazım and Vera. However, The Russian State Channel made a documentary entitled "Aşktan da Öte (Beyond Even Love)" based on the book "Bahtiyar ol Nazım", describing the love of Nazım and Vera, and I decided to add Turkish subtitles for this documentary and publish on the internet. Letters, documents, and the great love stories printed with poetry and picture, documentaries, films are also a cultural fact at the same time.
