Gulyabani in Modern Turkish

Muhsine goes to a mansion far outside the city as a maid to earn her living. Among the residents of this "sinister" mansion, there are all kinds of fairies, creatures, and a ghoul, as well as its employees and its rich lady, who is said to have gone crazy. Even though Muhsine has the possibility of being killed, going crazy, or getting involved in good times, she cannot silence her curiosity and goes behind closed doors. Hüseyin Rahmi deals with the superstitions of the people with a technique that turns fairy tales into novels and novels into fairy tales, by dealing with supernatural beings such as genies, fairies and witches. And beyond all these strange creatures and strange creatures, it introduces us to a more surprising and strange being: Man. Gulyabani, which is read with excitement from beginning to end, not only reflects the people of Istanbul of that period with all their characteristics, but also contains the best examples of Turkish with its riddles, rhymes and local words.

Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar (1864-1944) He keeps his period and his environment alive in his novels, reflecting his youth from his youth. Hüseyin Rahmi, who has been loved and read by the masses since then, is one of the rare figures in our literature. In his books, subjects such as the special beliefs of Istanbul life, social and economic inequalities, and relations between men and women are treated, often humorously and sometimes sadly, while preserving the original speech styles of the people. "Local color" enters our novel for the first time. He started his writing career in 1883 in the Tercüman-ı Hakikat newspaper. He became famous when his novels and stories were serialized in the İkdam newspaper in 1896. He becomes the most read writer of his time. All his earnings come from writing. In this way, he bought his mansion in Heybeliada, which is now a museum. After the Constitutional Monarchy in 1908, he published a humor newspaper called Boğaz with Ahmet Rasim. This is how he undergoes the first investigation. The newspaper closes. Second time Am I Crazy? He will be tried for his novel and will be acquitted again. He has over sixty books, mostly novels, stories, plays, articles and criticism. We will continue to include the author's selected works in our Turkish Literature Classics Series.
