▪ Turkish author
born March 27, 1889, Cairo
died Dec. 13, 1974, Ankara
writer and translator, one of the most renowned figures in modern Turkish literature, noted for vigorous studies of 20th-century Turkish life.
Educated at a French school in Cairo and then in İzmir, he moved to Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1908. He attracted attention as a writer by his outstanding prose poems, and he became connected with the Fecr-i âti (“Dawn of the Future”) literary school, which formed itself after the Young Turk Revolution. His first book, a collection of short stories, was published in 1913. A journalist during the Turkish War of Liberation (1919–22), he became a member of parliament and later had an extensive diplomatic career (1934–54).
His novels are powerful studies of Turkish society since the advent of the republic. In Hüküm gecesi (1927; “The Night of Judgment”), he describes the interparty struggles after the adoption of the constitution of 1908. Sodom ve Gomore (1928; “Sodom and Gomorrah”) is about life in occupied Constantinople after World War I. Yaban, perhaps his best-known novel (1932; “The Stranger”), deals with the psychological distance between the Turkish peasant and the urban intellectual. He also wrote poetry and several works of nonfiction.
