Özet:

In this study, Tezer Özlü’s novel “Travel to the End of Life” will be read by Italian poet, writer Cesare Pavese’s Diary of Life and the two writers will be evaluated by the process that goes to death by the dialect of existence. Tezer Özlü was very influenced by the life story of Cesare Pavese and established the journey to the end of life by following the process of suicide of Cesare Pavese. The woman in the End of Life's Journey went on a trip to see the places where the hero Pavese was born and lived, and at the end of the novel she saw her bed in the hotel room where she committed suicide. Therefore, the woman hero in the novel has questioned her existence through Pavese's life story. The scripture of Tezer Özlü is also a process of discovering its existence. In this way, he is trying to resist the punishment of existence/existence tragedy. He also tries to discover himself by writing. To write for him is to isolate himself from the social/symbolic field and to shelter to the image field. When taken into account the function of literature from the point of view of the reader and the writer, the act of reading and writing is the person’s withdrawal from the outside world to the inner world. Thus, the writer also reads and realizes the inner sight and tries to understand the existence. When literature considers its function in the general sense, it is the process of seeking/discovering the person who has been thrown away from God to the world, as the Existents say. The symbolic field/social field has an indifferentiating effect on the discovery of the person’s existence. People find themselves in their best loneliness. Literature offers opportunities for both writers and readers in this discovery. Tezer Özlü is also a writer who suffers existence as he himself through Cesare Pavese, and through his own existence, he offers the existence of the woman in the journey to the end of life (in fact, he is covered with his own biography).
