Abstract:

Elif Safak, the center of the cultural and scientific source of the West, focuses his novels on his work, pushes his work into anachronic and fictional vacancy. This is a result of Western-based interpretation of the Eastern society created from the other point of view. Many phenomena are striking, from the style problem we often encounter in works of art, to the ignorance of the spiritual and economic conditions of the society to be projected, and from the fictional consistency line to the anarchic elements in the sequence of historical events. Elif Şafak is also experiencing the problem of not being authentic in reflecting the society he is working on. Underlying this problem, which overlaps with the speech of Orientalism about the Orient, lies, in fact, a prejudiced approach. This is because there is no doubt that such a problem will be encountered in the context of authenticity if it is known well how to make the person who speaks out of their own values, Thus lies the orientalist tendencies under the fictional space and deviations of the author, who wrote his work with a Western motto. In this study we collected the contents under four headings, it was firstly to examine Elif Şafak's novels within the boundaries of historical novels and to see how skillfully they established it. The second point we have criticized at the point of the article is that sensitivity towards our Sufism and moral tradition is bound up in the first place. In the third chapter, the author's works are emphasized in terms of not being authentic while communicating his works. In the fourth chapter, especially in the context of Father and Pich's novel, the author misinterpreted the facts with the misconceptions of history. Our aim in this study Elif Şafak's Love, My master and I, Alexander, Father and Bastard novels, evaluate the we're talking about topics that made thousands of repression in Turkey and to gain awareness of the author's works with the popular author identity.
