Özet:

Within the German literature Franz Kafka is one of the most read authors and his works are some of the most interpreted in the world. Kafka's works that found a big international attention with being translated into other languages, began to be translated into Turkish in the 1950s. The translations that build the groundwork of the Kafka reception in Turkey, simultaneously affect Turkish literature and the development of the intellectual world constantly. With its cultural and social structure, Turkey shows differences in various points from the environment where Franz Kafka was grown up and was socialized. Associated with this difference, conditions of reception appear and lead to differences in understanding and interpreting Kafka and his works. To this extend this article aims at the reception of Franz Kafka and his works in Turkey. Taking the country's historical, cultural and socio-political developments into account, with the procedure of reception the effect of Kafka's works on Turkish readers and on the modern Turkish literature, will be analyzed.
