CHAPTER 8 – YABAN, KADRO, ANKARA 
273 
bölümünde verdiğim ve karikatürünü yaptığım Ankara'nın içinde tepinip 
durmaktayız. 
Well, has the Turkey I had dreamt in the last part of the novel come true? 
In those times when I couldn’t even think that one day will come when 
Atatürk dies I was hoping that with Atatürk’s leadership and guidance 
we would be able to reach this ideal Turkey. But from the revolution’s 
social, cultural and economic points of view we are still standing in the 
novel’s second part and inside the caricature of Ankara I made.
At the end of her article Enginün admits that the last part of 
Ankara 
does not have 
the liveliness of the other two. It deals with the question of Westernisation which is 
ever present in post Tanzimat Turkish literature, as experienced by the heroine 
Selma Hanım. 
In the third part , according to Enginün, Yakup Kadri sees the union of the national 
revolution with true western methods and at last the western elements do not appear 
as strange and loathsome. Westernisation has found its natural expression in the life 
of Turkey, a Turkey which has overcome the awkwardness resulting from the 
previous years’ lack of experience. It now dwells naturally in the life of Turkey and 
does not look artificial. It became part of the 
Türkçülük
, it reached a synthesis inside 
a delightful national unity and does not appear as a foreign element. Yakup Kadri’s 
desire found its expression in Neşet Sabit’s personality

. 
Evren Karataş thinks that Yakup Kadri presents the years of the National Struggle 
and the developments which followed with realistic observations through the eyes of 
Neşet Sabit. As do others, he observes that the first part is about the years of the War
