Özet:

Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem, who is one of the leading names of Tanzimat period and Turkish romantism, is known for his opinions about literary theories rather than literary works and hence, he is recognized by his contemporaries as “master”. He often brought his son Nijad Ekrem, whom he lost at the age of 15, into his poems and prose-poems. In these works, Nijad appears as an extraordinary figüre in the face of the reader: He, like a philosopher, goes to deep thoughts; has almost the same aesthetic sensitivity as artists who have the finest pleasures; his national and religious sensitivities improved greatly, and he has respect and grace of mature people. This work will focus on the characterization of Nijad as an extraordinary figure in the context of mentioned features, and an interpretation will be made on the typological orientation in Ekrem's works Tefekkür and Nijad Ekrem by means of a more work-centered reading perspective.
