Prologue

In one way of describing the ‘space’, the world of letters talks about ‘narrow’ and ‘wide’ spaces according to their psychological impacts on characters. While narrow spaces make characters feel bad, wide spaces create good feelings.
There is a character in ‘The Idıot’ named Prince Myshkin who perceives the spaces in this way but mostly as wide spaces.
One day, Prince Myshkin comes to a
crowded district of Istanbul called Fatih.
On that day, the picture of the encounter of pure goodness with complex unhappiness is drawn.
Prince was lost in a dispair city with
small dark rooms,
narrow streets,
tiny pavements,
empty parks,
nervous people,
neglected roads,
and
worn walls.
Then he saw the hidden hopes overflowing in places.

Then, he mixed the dreams of the characters.

the narrow
and
the wide spaces
