RESURRECTION OF THE PROPHETS AND SCHOLARS Sezai Karakoç’s Forty Hours With Hizir
Sezai Karakoç’s Hızırla Kırk Saat (Forty Hours with Hizir) is comprised of forty poems narrated by Hizir (an immortal person believed to come in time of need). Grief, together with longing, helps reader read them as a long story, as well. Messages of the text are rendered over the journey Prophet Musa takes in the guidance of Hizir, and Seven Sleepers who slept in a cave for over 300 years. In this sense, Hızırla Kırk Saat could be understood as the embodiment of the idea resurrection, which is the story of maturization of some Prophets and scholars of religion. Resurrection is referred with “bengisuyu” (eternal water, water of life) in Hızırla Kırk Saat, and all of the names mentioned in their adventurous path of reality are presented as the sources to be taken and internalized for the idea of resurrection.
