GOODREADS BEST SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY OF 2019 FINALIST INCLUDED IN THE TOP 20 BEST BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY AMAZONįEATURED IN THE AMAZON BOOK REVIEW NEWSLETTER, JANUARY 2020 INCLUDED IN THE TOP 5 BEST PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY AUDIBLE WINNER OF THE OUTSTANDING WORKS OF LITERATURE (OWL) AWARD Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind If you value your time, your focus, or your relationships, this book is essential reading. Indistractable provides a framework that will deliver the focus you need to get results. In a splendid contemporary twist to the ancient story, Margaret Atwood has chosen to give the telling of it to Penelope and to her twelve hanged maids, asking: "What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to?" In Atwood's dazzling, playful retelling, the story becomes as wise and compassionate as it is haunting, and as wildly entertaining as it is disturbing. When Odysseus finally comes home after enduring hardships, overcoming monsters, and sleeping with goddesses, he kills her suitors and-curiously-twelve of her maids. Left alone for twenty years when Odysseus goes off to fight in the Trojan War after the abduction of Helen, Penelope manages, in the face of scandalous rumors, to maintain the kingdom of Ithaca, bring up her wayward son, and keep over a hundred suitors at bay, simultaneously. In Homer's account in The Odyssey, Penelope-wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy-is portrayed as the quintessential faithful wife, her story a salutary lesson through the ages. Now that all the others have run out of air, it's my turn to do a little story-making. This is refreshing from any biographer, but crucial in a writer who has undertaken the story of a star on the scale of Marilyn Monroe, about whom insidious and ridiculous rumors have persisted before and long since her death. One excellent quality of Spoto’s writing is his honest yet sympathetic realism and firm dismissal of conspiracy theories and scandalous gossip. These previous generations, the lack of constancy they faced, and the virtual nonexistence of familial closeness, reliability, or stability in their lives provide crucial insight into the struggles Monroe faced in childhood and adulthood, as well as her dreams of being adored both professionally and personally. Beginning his investigation into her life several generations before it began, Spoto devotes the first chapter of the book to the hardships, misfortunes, and familial tensions that ultimately led to the birth of Norma Jeane Baker (her last name frequently changed even before her whole name did). Donald Spoto’s 1993 biography of the eternally captivating Marilyn Monroe is a well-researched, deeply human look at the actress who was criminally underestimated and continues to be misrepresented.

In line with this thought, the question of whether the style of the source text is deformed or preserved in the target text has been explored. Within this mindset, The Color Purple and Renklerden Moru are evaluated in accordance with twelve deforming tendencies and, by extension, the stylistic aspects represented by these tendencies. Each of these tendencies handles different stylistic aspects which are often deformed during the translation process. The twelve deforming tendencies suggested by Berman in this analytic are adopted as the focal methodological and theoretical framework of this present thesis. A comparative stylistic analysis is carried out between the two texts within the framework of Antoine Berman’s analytic of translation. This study focuses on to what extent the stylistic features in the literary works can be reflected to another language and, to that end, it analyses Alice Walker’s well-known novel The Color Purple and its Turkish translation Renklerden Moru by Armağan İlkin as a case study. The representation of the literary style in the translation poses a significant challenge for the translator, as these linguistic variants are hard to be rendered in the target language. The style in the literary texts is mainly achieved with the usage of various linguistic variants. Style composes the gist of literary works, as it is an inseparable element that forms a coherent meaning in texts. He is the only child of world-famous Surveyor Conley Murdock.
