The Call of the Marching Bell

The third book calls upon the readers to follow the Poet towards the new world foreseen in the previous work. Anthologizing a rich selection of poems from his earliest days (about fifteen years before the publication of the first book), the Poet offers a biography of his mind and traces the gradual transformation of his ideas – not as a process of discarding one idea for the sake of another but rather as a perpetual discovery of deeper layers contained in the same truth. Following the Poet through his personal journey and diverse readings of life and books, the readers arrive witness the natural culmination of the process through the appearance of the legendary guide Khizr who reveals the secrets of the new world that Nature has built for a new type of human being in the deepest recesses of life. In the last poem, 'The Dawn of Islam', this is presented as an inside-out world where moral values have become more effective than steel, the hidden forces of history stand revealed for those who dare. Tables have turned and those who were considered the least qualified have actually become the most suitable for grasping the new possibilities offered by this world. However, even in such a new and noble era, greed still lurks in the hearts of the oppressed as well as the oppressors, due to which they may fail to see the real potential of their times.
