بازی با مرگ

by Ali Delshad Tehrani, علی دلشاد تهرانی

بازی با مرگ یک رمان تخیلی در ژانر رئالیسم جادویی است که به سبک نوشتاری “جریان سیال ذهن” نگاشته شده است. البته میتوان این کتاب را در ژانر خودیاری ( Self-Help ) نیز طبقه بندی کرد.
زمان در این کتاب پیوسته بین گذشته و حال در حرکت است. زاویه دید در تمام داستان اول شخص بوده و با روش خاصی از شخصیتی به شخصیت دیگر حرکت می‌کند.

به‌ گفته‌ی خود نویسنده این کتاب به روش ‌ تو در تو ( Recursive ) نوشته شده که ابداع خود نویسنده بوده و قبلا چنین سبکی عمومی نشده بوده‌است.

این کتاب اتفاقاتی را که برای یک پزشک متخصص بیهوشی در هنگام کما رخ می‌دهد به تصویر می‌کشد، پزشک‌ به زندگی عادی ‌بازمی‌گردد ولی متوجه می‌شود که افرادی که در مدت زمانی بیهوشی ملاقات کرده واقعی هستند و در بُعد دیگری از زمان و به قول نویسنده در یک “غیر همزمانی” مسائل مشترکی را تجربه کرده اند. کنکجکاوی پزشک جریانات هیجان انگیزی را برای او رقم می زند که باعث ترسش شده و‌ دست از این کنجکاوی می‌کشد.
اتفاقاتی که در انتهای داستان رخ می‌دهد برای خواننده غیرقابل پیش‌بینی بوده و می‌تواند ذهن خواننده را به چالش بکشد.

Playing with death is a piece of imagination that took me beyond the rules and walls. And since I love to travel through the imagination, that was a suitable and one of the most enjoyable Novel I have ever read. Hope to find more of them by Ali Delshad Tehrani.

Ali's book is written in unconventional way, making the reader think outside the box and wonder about the next chapter.
İt is not a simple story but more exciting and unusual piece stimulating imagination and creativity in a readers mind. Unexpected ending surprises and leaves the reader wanting more....

What an amazing piece ,
The story is simple at the beginning yet complicated,
An anesthesiologist returns from the coma in the first chapter and hears the voices of his colleagues whispering about his situation .
the memories he remembers of the coma are still understandable alongside the ordinary frame of his daily life, the doctor finds out people he met, are unbelievably real and decides to communicate with them!
A decision that has consequences in the middle seasons of the book.
My favorite point of the story is the pace of finishing , breathtaking and nail-biting end of the book receiving shocking information and twists of the story in about 30 pages while you have no idea that is coming,
What Ali has done with great mastery, and the thirst for the story remains so deeply that may make you read more about near-death experiences as a result,
Recommended.

There are not many books that I read in one go and am sure afterwards that I will have to read them at least once more to open up new facets of the plot. This is definitely one of them! Although at first glance the book seems to be written in a relatively simple way and does not contain any boa-constrictor sentences (which I appreciate very much), you notice that the story is quite complex in its structure, which makes it particularly appealing and interesting. I will definitely recommend this book to my friends to read.

I just finished reading "Playing with death". This book is amazing, I am very glad that it came to me at the right time in the right place.
Moments that tell about Alice, her journeys, life principles, travel, meditation very resonate in my soul.
"...we are guest in this world, and we will shortly leave it. Then it's better if we help each other to live peacefully together, and avoid doing anything that hurt or bother other people" - I think it's better to print this phrase and hang it in a conspicuous place. Thank you for this conclusion.
And the ending of the book is unexpected. I wish Ali continue his creativity!

After reading this book you will learn that every decision you make in your life has consequences. Nothing comes for free. The point is that are you willing to pay the price?
Dr. Thomas returns from a coma and he has to decide between continuing his normal life or going after what he believes is supernatural.

کتاب علمی تخیلی بود
از زبان دکتری که به کما رفته بود و وقتی به هوش اومده بود دنبال آدمی رفته بود که در زمان کما دیده تا تجربیات اونو بشنوه
در دل این قصه نویسنده پندهای خودمراقبتی و اتصال به روح هم داد
و درنهایت مثل انشاها که ناگهان از خواب میپریدیم و میفهمیدیم همه چی خواب بوده دکتر بیدار شد و فهمید هرچی دیده تا الان در مرگ مصنوعی بوده که خودش رو واردش کرده!!!

in the following you get along well with the story and path and finally its up to you how ending will impressions you.

very interesting & pleasant to read book. I enjoyed reading the book. "Playing with death" although has deep meaning but it is written with simple English so everyone eventually can understand. Highly recommend to read.

one of the most amazing books that i’ve ever read , it was really mysterious and i read it over couple of times and waiting for next sessions

[Amin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think that it was a great name for this book due to the story. The story telling is smooth and detailed which makes it easy to imagine places, characters and incidents just like the story wants to. Some incidents really made me excited to find out what would happen next. I really enjoyed reading it.

I know the author of the book and I know how much effort and time he put into writing this book…it is really 👍🏻

I enjoyed reading it👏🏻

[Mohamadhosein · Rating 5 out of 5]

The last chapter of this book really shocked me and I still think about the end of the story

[Paniz · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was an awesome experience reading this book. It's one of the books that makes you feel both fear & joy about death at the same time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Playin with death is a great book, introducing new and unfamiliar events in each season in a professional way

[El · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think the author needs some more experience but overall it is a good book

[Tina · Rating 5 out of 5]

To put it in a nutshell, it is a thought-provoking book. It makes you think a lot about time distortion. Is it real? What about the fifth dimension? Is it possible to travel in time?
When you start reading, it is almost impossible to put it down as the story is so fascinating and breathtaking. If you want to experience pure excitement, I do recommend it.

[Mohammadreza · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the author says, the method of writing is recursive. All the characters enter and leave the story with their genuine style of communication, tone of voice, and personality. The rhythm of the story is so addictive. It makes you want to continue reading until you fall asleep.
Every part of the story is described in full detail; It feels like you are there.

[Elahe]

“playing with death” is the kind of story you wish to be a part of it. What would you do if you were Dr. Thomas? Would you insist on finding the truth or just let it go and forget about everything?
If you had a stone with the ability of time distortion, what would you do with it? Would you have the courage to travel between times?

کتاب را دوست داشتم و توصیه میکنم
آنچه که مرا میخکوب ��رد، جدای از روند مرموز و جادویی قصه، و دعوتهای غیر مستقیم کاراکتر آلیس به زندگی در حال یا کارپیدیم که فصل دلچسب آلیس را حول محور کاراکتری ماجراجو رغم میزند و مدام یکنواختی دنیای پیش روی سایر کاراکترها را به طعنه به چالش میکشد نیست!
که پایان سرعتی، نفس گیر و میخکوب کننده‌ی کتاب است.
چنان که خواننده در حدود سی صفحه‌ی پایانی داستان در عین ناباواری در حال و هوای عجیبی با دریافت اطلاعات تکان دهنده‌ای، به حال خود رها میشود تا تمام انتزاعات دنیاهای موازی، موازنات همگون ذهنش را به چالش بکشد.
توصیفات فصل هشت فیل سنگی یا صخره‌ی الفنت را واقعا دوست داشتم چون تصویرسازی عمیق و قوی دارد چنانکه گویی کنار سنگها در انتظار لنا ایستاده‌ام تا به سلامت برگردد.
الگوریتم داستان در ژانر رئالیسم جادویی به غالبهای قویتر ادبیات معاصر چون کافکا در ساحل اثر هاروکی موراکامی نزدیک است.
کتاب بوی بلوغ قلم و ظهور نویسنده‌ای قدرتمند در ادامه چندگانه‌ی بازی با مرگ را میدهد

[Nafis · Rating 5 out of 5]

یکی از بهترین کتاب هایی که تا به حال خوندم؛ با خوندن این کتاب به دنیای دیگه ای سفر کردم‌. توصیفات بی نظیر و قوی نویسنده باعث میشد که لحظه لحظه داستان رو تصور کنم و خودم رو در اون مکان حس کنم. همچنین سبک "تو در تو" بودن داستان هیجان خاصی رو ایجاد کرده جوری که خواننده با اشتیاق دنبال پیگیری داستان و ادامه آن است. به نظر من این کتاب حتی پتانسیل ساختن یک فیلم سینمایی را نیز دارد یعنی پس از انتشار جلد دو کتاب .

[Mitra · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best thing about “playing with death” is that it is written in the simplest way possible. An anesthesiologist returns from the coma and realizes that everything was real. The people who met during his coma are real. So he decides to communicate with them. But it’s not that simple.

[Marjan Ghadyani · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story begins with a natural pace. You may get tired in the beginning, but don’t stop. Keep reading. Otherwise, you will lose the pleasure of reading an adventurous and surprising story. A fiction book that is imbued with metaphysics.

[Maryam · Rating 5 out of 5]

به جرات میتونم بگم یکی از جذاب ترین رمان هایی که تاحالا خوندم،توصیفات و تخیلات این کتاب اونقدر جذاب بود که با اشتیاق کتاب رو ادامه میدادم. خوندن این کتاب رو به همه توصیه می کنم

[Mehrab · Rating 3 out of 5]

شروع نسبتا جذاب داره ؤلی در میانه داستان قصه کمرنگ میشه و وارد مباحث عرفانی و فلسفی میشه. باز در پایان با یک غافلگیری سبک به شروع خویش برمیگرده.
