Özet:

The traces of the European influences seen in the mental world and in the lifestyle of the Ottoman State leaders, who often encountered the Western States in political, economic and military fields and entered the decline from the 17th century, and in the mental world and in the way of life of their people, become increasingly evident over time. One of the fields in which these traces are depicted is literature. Since Tanzimat, our literaries have given works that reflect their attitudes and views regarding their modern lifestyle and values. This is also seen in the period of the Republic. One of them is the author of the novel "The Furniture" Reşat Nuri. In "Yaprak Dökümü", Reşat Nuri Güntekin, from Tanzimat, has addressed the wrong Westernization theme that our romans often use. In this novel, the author tried to show the fact that the Westernization was misunderstood and experienced in the social environment of the family of Ali Rıza and this family, and this effort provided him with a social-content novel called Sheet Drop. In the novel located in the center of the family of Ali Rıza Mr, the writer stands on the subject of the social and economic chaos of the early years of the Republican revolution, the society, by leaving traditional values, adopts a new way of life, a moral understanding, based on a material - money- world view. At the end of the event series, the tragic hero of the novel, Ali Rıza Mr, surrenders to "new order". The novel represents the experience of the hero and his family around him, the conflict of traditional and modern lifestyles faced by middle-class families during the Republican period, and mostly the victorious arrival of the 'new'.
