Akademisyen Kitabevi From *The Great Gatsby* to *The So-Called Girls*: Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and Peyami Safa

Comparative literature is the mutual study of works from different national literatures in terms of their similarities and differences in common themes and motifs. in this way, comparative literature allows us to better understand and discover our own and other's literature. so much so that when we read and examine a foreign text, we feel the need to learn our own literature and culture much more closely and to correct our deficiencies.

"one of the best examples to explain the importance of comparative literature is the poem ""invitation"" written by atsız in 1940:"

Our burnt füzûlî is a vast sea!

There is a lake in front of you, your dante!

  In this study, my master's student suzan yavuz has attempted to fill an important gap in comparative literature by examining the works of the american author francis scott key fitzgerald's the great gatsby (1925) and peyami safa's the so-called girls (1922-1925) in similar and different aspects within the context of the jazz age and lost generation.

Although the works belong to different geographies, in terms of them telling the same period (1920-1930) and pointing to the common aspects of societies, the similar and different aspects of the works have been revealed by comparing them in terms of content and form with the text-focused review method, which is one of the comparative literature methods.

The bookization of the thesis work of our dear suzan will not only help us better understand our own culture and others, but also will take literature lovers on a pleasant journey to turkish and american literature.
