nâzim hikmet

Poet, playwright, novelist, memoirist
born: 1902, Salonica; died: June 3, 1963, Moscow

A fervent nationalist patriot, a socialist whose humanistic views tran- scended barriers of race and country, Nazim Hikmet is considered one of Turkey's very foremost modern poets... and yet for many years his works were banned in his native country and he himself suffered long exile.

"violaram nossos ramos verdes e frescos
fraturaram nossas mãos que seguravam um livro
fizeram escorrer o sangue de nossos filhos.
"
