The essays selected from the corner articles in i̇kdam newspaper by ahmet hashim, along with his impressions from his travels to paris, were published in 1928 as we think.Written in a lean, clear, flowing, sometimes mocking language, the essays and travel impressions with the same stylistic features reflect the reader the author's deep observation power and critical point of view, as well as his effective expression.With it, the poeticism that stands out in some of his writings also reminds us that the hashemite is the poet of the emotional, fragile poems loaded with images.It is a striking example of how ordinary and small issues that we encounter every day can create a holistic picture of the world with the pen of a masterful writer. Ahmet hachem (1887-1933)born in baghdad, ahmet hachem's childhood years are spent in various provinces of arabia due to his father's post.The spiritual trauma caused by losing his mother at an early age leads him to develop a timid, introverted, and dreamy personality structure starting from that period.In 1895, he came to istanbul with his father, after learning turkish, which he did not speak well, in the first two years at the numune-i terakki mektebi, he enrolled at the galatasaray sultanate in 1897.Ahmet hışım, who was increasingly leaning towards literature, published his first poem at the age of 16 with the support of his literature teachers tevfik fikret and ahmet hikmet müftüoğlu. Graduated from galatasaray in 1907, he continued at the faculty of law while working at the reji administration. In 1909, he also signed the declaration of the fecr-i ati community published in servet-i fünun. After this draw, which did not last long, the poet, who prefers to be outside political and literary groupings, develops a unique understanding of poetry. With the poetry books lakes hours published in 1921 and piyale published in 1926, he is among the leading poets of the period. As one of the founders of modern turkish poetry, he significantly affects those who came after him. The obscurity and power in his poems correspond to intelligibility, and his prose is quite lean, open, fluent and, in places, humorous. Ahmet hashem's writings, with their universal perspective that transcends time on many issues, are still intriguing for today's reader. We will continue to include the author's selected works in our turkish literature classics series.
