Özet:

Human, the main subject of literary works, lives in a society. Every person has a family as soon as he is born. At this point the paths of literature and sociology cross. The literature deals with man as a member of the family, the smallest unit of society. This indicates the relationship between both literature-family and sociology-family. The story has a significant place among the narrative genres that handle family. The period between the Tanzimat Era and the proclamation of the Republic is a time period that refers to a change for Turkish society and also that refers to the differentiation in the understanding of art with the introduction of new genres in terms of Turkish literature. In the time period between 1870-1923, many authors, including Ahmet Mithat Efendi, Samipaşazade Sezai, Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil, Ömer Seyfettin, Ahmet Rasim, deal with the family issue in their stories. In these works, the reader confronts with many topics, such as the establishment and development of family, family relations, family and daily life, events that distribute or deeply affect the family. In this study, the issues related to family in mentioned authors' stories belonging to the pre-Republican period were discussed in the context of literary periods.
