este libro trata de ese amor perverso que invade la vida de una mujer aparentemente normal y que la lleva a limites indecibles. el autor tiene facilidad para entender a las mujeres y su psicologia, cosa que tambien aplica a otras obras como el corazon tardio, su libro de cuentos. el leerlo no sabia si sentir pena por su esposo abandonado aunque el era una dulce nada comparado con ese avasallador amante que la lleva a emigrar y hacer cosas que parecen de una persona sin juicio. al principio dude que alguien pudiera portarse asi, pero la vida me ha ensenado que las posibilidades de que todo pase no son tan remotas como se piensan...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story, beautifuly written,must read & watch movie., October 23, 1997
By A Customer
Once again Antonio Gala shows that his pen has 500 times the power of a camera. Mr. Gala's detailed description of characters, situations and places take you away in a breathless ride through the story. Yet never to barroque as to confuse or daze making one have to re-read the page. Believe me, if you read a page more than once it is just because you can't get over the richness of flavours in his descriptions & story telling style. IT IS A MUST READ!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Me cuesta creer que un buen polvo enloquezca, February 13, 2002
By 
Muchas de las personas que deciden seguir la máxima de "conócete a ti mismo" no saben en la que se meten, pues entre los resultados posibles muy pocos evalúan que puede llegar a pasar cuando al terminar la investigación resulta que no se gustan. El problemita es muy bravo. Aquí a nuestra "heroína" que está aburrida como una ostra de su vida convencional, sin variaciones radicales y para peor de males con un marido mal polvo, se encuentra con un turco, que le mueve el piso y queda encoñada.

Es una pasión que por contradecir a la razón simplemente no se puede explicar, - lo cual sin duda le facilita un poco la vida al autor - y lograr que ese ser renuncia a si mismo ella decide mover todas las piezas de sicología posible para ver con que nota puede el llegar a bailar al ritmo que ella quiere sin que eso suceda, lo cual la va desesperando cada día mas.

Como historia de amor no es particularmente original, ni cautivante, pues creo que es difícil que alguien se identifique con un ser tan alienado - y si lo hace pues mi mas sentido pésame - y como obra erótica no es que me haya alterado mucho las hormonas, de hecho las descripciones de los encuentros y desencuentros de Desi son mas bien escuetos y elegantes. Su gracia reside en que el escritor escribe en primera persona como si fuera una mujer lo cual no es común. Si le pega al blanco, lo juzgaran las miembros del otro género. Yo por mi lado me limito a suponer que las caricaturiza un poco y por eso no es completamente creíble el drama.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fool's Paradise, December 27, 2001
Accursed by an obsession to mingle mythology with personal destiny in a most volcanic plot, the author takes an arguably rational married woman into an adventurous pilgrimage of sexual passion and unknown circumstances. Desi Oliván finds herself sexually imprisoned by Yaman, a draconian and manipulative Turk who, aware of his lover's passionate hypnosis, catapults her towards her demise.

The development of the story and its set of ever-waylaying surprises darting into the main character's life spawn a nauseating suspense. Mr. Gala tours the reader through magical Istambul colorfully drawing Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Bazaar from the foreground of the story.

"La pasión turca" may be construed as a valuable behavioral psychology dissertation on sexual neurosis as exemplified by Desi's mercurial obsessiveness to cling to her lover, regardless of his gradually explicit obscure life and the unanimous advice of her acquaintances to evade her entrapment.

By A Customer
This review is from: La Pasion Turca (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This book is not too feministic, it just shows how well mr. Gala understands women. It is a torrid and well written book
