CHAPTER 3 – SOME TOPOI IN THE KURTULUŞ EDEBİYATI

yalnızlığı ve bilhassa bu yalnızlıkta bulduğu âlem ayrı şeylerdi. O kadar
ki, birincisini fotoğrafçıların arka plan olarak kullandıkları o hayalî
peyzajlara benzetmek mümkündür. Bu muvazaa zeminine düşen şey ise
büsbütün başka şey idi. Bu ikincisinde bütün bir realist görüş ve bir yığın
teklif vardı. Kaldı ki, Anadolu mücadelesinin başladığı günlerde bu
Anadolu’ya kaçış, eserin hudutlarını aşıyordu. Romanın tefrika edildiği
günleri benim gibi hatırlayanlar, onun nasıl sıcağı sıcağına o günlerde
İstanbul’da esen havaya cevap verdiğini bilirler. Buna rağmen, roman
hakikaten hissî idi. Ve genç kız psikilojisini, ferdî saadet mes’elesini bir
çıkmaza götürüyordu. Reşat bu çıkmazı öbür romanlarında düz cadde
hâline getirdiyse bile, ona bir yığın tünel açtı. Hatta kendisine başka
başka yollar aradı. Ferdî saadet hakkında daima fedakârlık hissini
yüklemekle beraber, daha muvazeneli düşünen kahramanlar yarattı.
I cannot say that Reşat Nuri showed the courage to challenge politics.
But it cannot be denied that the importance of his novels as works of art
was different from novel to novel. From a critical angle Çalıkuşu, Yeşil
Gece and Yaprak Dökümü speak differently. This last work is one of the
best novels of the last twenty years. There Reşat Nuri is willing to
sacrifice his heroes.
In fact, there is a kind of duality in Çalıkuşu. Its happy ending aside,
Feride’s love and broken heart are different things from the expression
which suddenly took over her personality, that is her loneliness,
especially the world which she finds in this loneliness. So much so that
the first one could be likened to the imaginary landscape background
used by a photographer. But what was put onto this unreal ground is a
completely different thing. In this second one there is a wholly realistic
view and a variety of propositions. Moreover, during the days when the
struggle in Anatolia was starting this escape to Anatolia transcended the
limits of the work. Those who remember as I do the days when the novel
was being serialised know how he was responding there and then to the
atmosphere of Istanbul of those days. Despite this the novel was a really
sentimental one. And it was leading young girl psychology and the
question of personal happiness to a dead end. Even though in his other
novels Reşat brought clarity to this dead end (creating a wide open
avenue), he dug a series of tunnels for it. He even sought different routes
for himself. Even though always creating the burden of the sense of self
sacrifice in connection with personal happiness, he created more
balanced protagonists.
Difficult as they might be, if Tanpınar’s words are seen in context, he seems to be
saying that there is something unreal and lifeless about the sentimental aspect of the
