One of the greatest and most overlooked novels of the twentieth century, by an author championed by Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk, The Time Regulation Institute appears here in English for the first time-more than fifty years after its original publication in Turkish. This is the story of the misadventures of Hayri Irdals, an unforgettable antihero who, along with an eccentric cast of characters (a television mystic, a pharmacist who dabbles in alchemy, a dignitary from the lost Ottoman empire, the "life-artist" Halit), founds The Time Regulation Institute. The institute's quixotic quest: to make sure all the clocks in Turkey are set to Western time. Thus begins a brilliant satire about the calamitous arrival of Western and corporate values in tradition-bound Turkey. An uproarious tragicomedy that is still startlingly relevant, The Time Regulation Institute illuminates the collision of East and West, tradition and modernity, that has been playing out in Turkey since the early twentieth century.
Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar (1901-1962) was a poet, short story writer, novelist, essayist, literary historian, and professor. He is considered one of the most significant Turkish novelists of the 20th century. Deeply influenced by Valery and Bergson, he created a unique cultural universe in his work, bringing together a European literary voice and the sensibilities of the East.

评分Pankaj Mishra 的序言轻而易举地描绘出了小说中西方现代社会的官僚主义牢笼,所以唐帕纳尔才会被视为一位伤感的保守主义者,与无情的凯末尔主义者针锋相对。但Mishra却很少提及唐帕纳尔的小说跟精神生活、时间哲学、现代机械、物质文化之间微妙的互动。好歹唐帕纳尔熟读柏格森,再想想如今标准化时间在现代化的伊斯兰社会中所扮演的作用(封斋和礼拜),私人的时间和集约的时间之间如何妥协也可以是小说的重要主题。
评分不愧是让@manchild 坐过站的书,实在好看。某种意义上以现代性/bureaucracy 为主题的傅科摆变奏。Pure cynicism everywhere.
