Ağır, Ahmet
- Abstract
Although the first examples of Turkish novels began to be written in the second half of the 19th century as a kind of adaptation from the western literature, it followed a much more different route than that of the western novel. The first Turkish novelists were generally classical poets of the Ottoman Empire. Despite this belatedness, Turkish novel proved itself to be able to cope up with the new novel movements emerged again in the West. In the turn of the century, Turkish novelists began to write technically excellent novels. In the 1930s, when the Soviet literature was in search of establishing a literary tradition according to the Marxist point of view, Turkish writers triggered the arguments regarding this new method in Turkey, as well. In this article, Nazım Hikmet's, a well-known Turkish poet, views about the novel as were conveyed to Kemal Tahir through his letters are explored.
