This study discusses the relationship between memory and space in Peyami Safa's novels. The literary texts are a field of memories in the form of imagination or direct life itself. But the writer who can imagine what they have experienced is taking advantage of memory when he receives the text. Therefore, literature is an important source of work related to memory. The space concept that indicates a place where the memory is held is an important examination object of this study. Because the memories, the knowledge, the experience, and the experiences that are in the memory are always happening in one place. For this, the space is a concept that supports memory, and it itself actually has a memory. This is the result of this approach. Memory spaces have a great impact on the formation of social identity. This study also tries to reveal how the memory-space relationship builds the concept of "identity". The identities that are based on the world of thought of the society in which the individual comes give continuity to himself through the memory space. Peyami Safa’s Fatih Harbiye novel is a literary work that reflects the dualities of east-west, new-old and modern-tradition and also reveals the concept of identity in the light of these dualities. This study explores how memory and space relationship builds an identity in the novel of Fatih Harbiye. In the formation of psychological life, the Ninth External Course novel, which also draws attention to the direct relationship between memory and space, is an important example of the personal memory and space relationship.
