Salahaddin Enis, yaşamın en acılı, en karanlık, en düşkün yanlarına çevirmiş gözünü... "Yosmalar" toplumsal hayata tüm yalınlığı ile yaklaşan bir roman. Savaş sırasında İstanbul zenginlerinin ilişkilerini, kumar ve fuhuşu, ahlaki çöküntüyü çok açık bir dille ele alırken, genel olarak toplumsal hayatta din, ahlak ve kanun gibi değerleri topyekun reddeden nihilist bir yaklaşım sergilemesine rağmen, sonunda kahramanını bu bataktan çıkararak bir umut ışığı yakmayı da ihmal etmez. Fıtnat'ın davranışlarındaki tüm olumsuzluklar ve iç çatışmalarındaki karmaşık örgüde ortaya çıkan durum, aslında günlük hayatımızın da en büyük açmazlarından birisi. Niyeti ne olursa olsun insanı sorumlu kılan davranışlardır. Enis, roman kahramanı Fıtnat'ın çift karakterli yapısı ve yaşamı boyunca iç çatışmaları içerisine gizlemiş olduğu ruh halinde; Fıtnat'ın çatışmalı karakterlerinden birisine bürünerek dönemin sosyal ve siyasal eleştirisini yapmaktadır.

The various ways of using this reader depend on YOU. Do you want it for classwork? For self study at home during the school year or the holidays? Or perhaps a little of each? For example, the Before reading activities can be done at home, ready for discussion at school. This is also possible with the While reading section: the answers can be checked in class. Perhaps you prefer to keep the reading itself as a private activity. If you do, prepare the comprehension work in the While/After Reading sections for the classroom. The listening activities can be effective in class, while listening to the whole story at home is a relaxing way of checking that you've understood it! If you decide to use the book simply as a reader for the holidays, it would be helpful to prepare some of the Before reading activities, or even one of the shorter stories complete, in class during the last week of school. Hopefully, this will encourage you all to read purely for pleasure. Peter Foreman
