Müsameretname - Gece Hikayeleri

Müsameretname - Night Stories Book Description The 19th century is the century of great changes in every aspect. On the one hand, as life changes, the people and preferences that fill it also change. Written and oral literature, which has lasted for hundreds of years and established a unique tradition, is also included in this process. The world of meanings of old literature takes on a completely different face, especially with the introduction of the novel. New writers cannot easily break away from the past while searching for new forms of expression. Emin Nihad Bey's work titled Müsâmeretnâme is one of the works that stood out in this period and left its mark on our cultural history with both its volume and richness of expression. The work, consisting of 7 different stories published in 12 separate fascicles, is considered among the first products of the Western style story/novel tradition. It is also famous as "Night Stories" because it is the story of people gathered together on long winter nights, telling each other, inspired by the traditional narrative. Müsameretname, which Enfel Doğan adapted into today's Turkish with a long and meticulous preparation process, is an indispensable classic with its absorbing internal energy and linguistic agility that keeps the sense of curiosity alive.
