Books like The time regulation institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar


The Time Regulation Institute is a humorous and incisive satire of Turkey’s modernization efforts. Centered on Hayri Irdal, an affable antihero, the story follows his adventures among a colorful cast—including a mystic, an alchemist-pharmacist, and a former Ottoman dignitary—within the bureaucratic institution charged with synchronizing the country’s clocks to Western time. Told through sessions with a psychoanalyst, the novel juxtaposes tradition and modernity, East and West, while offering a blend of hope for progress and nostalgia for simpler days.
