Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları Felatun Bey Ile Rakım Efendi - Turkish Literature Classics 8

Product description

Feltun and rakım are two friends in their early twenties who grew up in close surroundings, one in the care of a father with a taste for luxury, the other in difficult circumstances after his father's death, thanks to the sacrifices of their mother and nanny. Mr. felatun is a type who pursues stylish dressing and traveling, with a western flair

mr. rakım, on the other hand, is hardworking, self-made, and has assimilated eastern and western cultures. Ahmed midhat efendi creates an ideal type by comparing these two completely opposite types in various events, sometimes in a rather humorous language. The novel, which also has parallels with the author's life story, reveals the issues of the society on the verge of westernization with the type of alafranga dandy who cannot assimilate this new culture. Ahmed midhat efendi (1844-1912) is one of the leading writers of the tanzimat era. Having started his writing career in journalism, he has also added story and novel writing, and has written a total of one hundred and fifty works in various fields. He always engages in dialogue with the reader in his works filled with encyclopedic information, as he sees writing as a tool to educate the public. In sofia, he first started as a writer for the tuna newspaper, and later as a chief writer. In baghdad, where he went with midhat pasha, he deepens his knowledge on western and eastern cultures by entering a very broad cultural environment including names such as painter osman hamdi bey, muhammed zühavi, and şirazlı bakır can muattar. He established his own printing press in his home in tahtakale and began publishing his books. On the one hand, he continues his journalism with newspapers and magazines such as devir, bedir, dağarcık, and kırkambar that he publishes. Due to his writings, the abdulaziz administration, along with namık kemal, exiled him. During the three-year exile on rhodes, he starts teaching by opening a school for children and writes his first novels. Upon returning to istanbul, he held various official positions and established tercüman-ı hakikat, one of the longest-running newspapers in the history of the turkish press. We will continue to include the selected works of ahmed midhat, who wrote on almost every subject, and with new techniques, in our turkish literature classics series.
