This novel is the story of the legendary boxer, eco-socialist Erol Atila, who in 1999 was killed by the blow of a ship's crane during a Greenpeace exercise against Japanese whalers in the Pacific Ocean and, as he had envisioned in his youth, sank in the Pacific's deep water. This is his hopeless love story between the communist and capitalist Germanies. This is the story of the battle of eco-socialism against both capitalism and communism. Young Erol clashes with nature's enemies in the Marmaris Forest in Turkey. He subsequently travels to Germany to study. In Kreuzberg, Berlin he befriends his neighbor, Peter, a retiree who was formerly a boxer. With his encouragement, Erol once again enters the ring in Berlin and attains new success. But his achievements don't bring happiness. Thus, he goes to the German Democratic Republic (communist Germany) where he discovers what the people there have done with the Utopia of Karl Marx. Erol also gets his wings clipped when he falls in love with Angela, a comely resident of the GDR. Because of his hopeless love for her, he fiinally agrees to smuggle her and their unborn son to West Berlin. At Checkpoint Charlie he is shot at, beaten like a rabid dog, and sentenced to life imprisonment. But Angela manages to escape to West Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, Erol is free and searches for his son, eventually returning to Turkey. He still dreams of a system that is centered on aligning itself with the balance of nature and that respects all other forms of life.
The Duel at Checkpoint Charlie The Ownerless Planet Book 2 eBook Akin Tekin Dorothy B McPherson
Tekin's novel is about his protagonist's travels back and forth between West and East Berlin during the Cold War Era.He is a student in the West who studies political philosophy including the differences between Communism, Capitalism and Socialism. Today's readers may not realize that one could be shot, arrested or imprisoned if caught trying to flee to the West. His vivid descriptions filled with sensory detail make you feel that you are standing beside him.
His conversations with those he meets is a study of the pros and cons of each political doctrine as well as how each person's perceptions is shaped by free market mass media or the relentless barrage of government propaganda. The author is perceptive enough to engage in grueling self-analysis and clever enough to find humor under the most trying conditions. His conception of the ideal political doctrine is one called eco-socialism, a network of national policies designed to preserve the earth's ecological sustainability as well as to promote personal happiness. Threaded throughout this tale, like a necklace of precious jewels, is a kind of mystical lyricism that turns his prose into poetry. Overall, a page turner. I loved it.

The Duel at Checkpoint Charlie The Ownerless Planet Book 2 eBook Akin Tekin Dorothy B McPherson Reviews
I recommend it! - Akin Tekin's speculative utopian essay/novel. Tekin's cautionary glimpses of a post-apocalyptic future bracket this documentary style (auto biographical?) memoir of a Turkish student/immigrant - and environmental Sophist - Erol, caught up in the maelstrom of the East-West, socialist/capitalist conflict - and environmental/social dislocation - in Germany - and the world - in the 1980's.
Knowing where our earth and its inhabitants are headed and what has to be done to save us is a heavy burden to carry. It is my experience that the information in The Duel At Checkpoint Charlie comes from the author’s fierce and broken heart. Read everything this Eco-prophet offers and then look to your part in it…past, present and future.
"The Duel at Checkpoint Charlie" is a fascinating story that follows Erol, the main character through his life as a young man. I felt a close connection with him as he fought for nature and the environment, as had his father before him, being so committed to the cause that he was willing to pay the ultimate price--- his life.
I felt as if I was there in East and West Berlin, as well as in the beautiful country of Turkey. Mr. Tekin is a talented writer and his book is a testimony to the importance of preserving the planet for our future generations. I would recommend this book as required reading for all schools and universities.
