Abstract:

In addition to being one of the major novelists, Kemal Tahir was also an important thinker. Trying to describe him with his own novelist personality means to imprison him in a narrow pattern. His works consist of many social topics. The most important one among these topics is his interest in history of Turkish society. He emphasizes that the roots of many problems that we have are hidden in the history of Turkish society and for that reason the efforts of searching for a solution to problems are vain. According to him, understanding * learn. See, the Republican University of the Star Professional High School. Today is equal to understanding the past. If we understand the past and evaluate it very well, we can find a permanent solution to our problems. In this study, it has been explained why the history, especially the history of Turkish society, is important for Kemal Tahir.
