       font-size: 19px; font-style: italic;\">Sabahattin Ali, (1907 to
       1948), whose works have been translated into several languages,
       and lastly into English, is one of the pioneers of realism in
       modern Turkish fiction</h2><div class=\"txtIn\" style=\"margin:
       0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;\">Modern Turkish fiction is
       generally considered to have gone through two streams of
       narrative methods. One is individual romance and the other is
       social realism. This generalization implies that the dichotomy
       between aesthetic and ideology hides behind the narrative. Most
       fiction writers chose one or the other in order to avoid a clash
       of styles in the mind of the reader. However, some others chose
       neither of the two and leave the task of solving the conflict to
       the reader.<br><br>The unfortunate poet and novelist Sabahattin
       Ali obviously walked the second path. He was not a man of
       harmony at all. His fiction is fundamentally inclined to bring
       insoluble conflicts forward. He does not even like to show a
       glimpse of hope to the reader at the end of a pathetic
       story.<br><br>What stimulated him to write darker on dark
       situations was his political ambition. Ali was a strict
       dissident. He wanted to use his fiction as a vehicle of his
       political hostility to single-party rule. Unfortunately, he paid
       for this attitude with his life. Ali was murdered by an agent of
       the National Security Service as he was trying to illegally
       cross the Turkish-Bulgarian border.<br><br><b>Early
       life</b><br><br>Sabahattin Ali was born on Feb. 25, 1907, in the
       town of E?ridere in Gümülcine, which is now Ardino in southern
       Bulgaria and Komotini in northern Greece. His father Selahattin
       Ali Bey was a military officer. Since his father\'s workplace
       frequently changed, Sabahattin Ali attended school in various
       cities including Istanbul, Çanakkale and Edremit.<br><br>He
       witnessed many things, including the revolution and war, during
       his childhood. In 1921, while his father was working in Edremit,
       Greek forces occupied the region and he could not receive his
       salary. The family found themselves in great difficulty since
       they had no economic opportunities other than their father\'s
       salary coming from the Ottoman state.<br><br>After the Greek
       forces were driven out and the Aegean region of Turkey was
       occupied by national forces, Ali attended the Boarding Teacher
       Training School in Bal?kesir where he would leave for its
       equivalent in Istanbul. He graduated from the school in 1926
       before he began to work as a teacher in Yozgat.<br><br>In his
       20s, Ali was an enthusiastic and sentimental young man. He
       visited Germany for language studies and after his return in
       1930 he worked as an elementary school tutor and a German
       teacher in various schools in Orhaneli, Ayd?n and
       Konya.<br><br><b>Dissident and restless</b><br><br>Meanwhile, he
       was writing poems and short stories. He began publishing poems
       in 1926 in a local literary journal of Bal?kesir. After that, he
       decided to send his work to the Istanbul press. He was also
       writing sentimental and romantic short stories. He published his
       first short story in 1930. This was \"Bir Orman Hikayesi\" (A
       Story from the Forest), which the well-known leftist poet Naz?m
       Hikmet published in the Resimli Ay (Monthly Illustrated) journal
       with the note: \"This writing is of a newer kind that is not
       common in our land. In this writing, the writer gives us an
       intelligent and bright point of view in order that we can see
       such things as the entire conservative and progressive sides of
       the psychology of the villagers, how the capital-owners destroy
       traditional village life in order to make its initial capital,
       and finally the ambiguous and ambitious forest life that is a
       marvelous part of nature.\"<br><br>Hikmet\'s somehow hyperbolic
       remarks should have meant much to the young writer. He was
       between the struggling trenches in those years. He had close
       friends from the right-wing political environment, including
       Nihal Ats?z, while he was publishing his stories in Hikmet\'s
       leftist journal. He was also a teacher, meaning that he was a
       public servant, but he was always speaking out and writing
       against the regime.<br><br>He was arrested in 1932 and sentenced
       to one year in prison on the charge of writing a poem disdaining
       Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the president during the period of
       single-party rule. He served some months in Konya and Sinop
       prisons before he was released thanks to a general pardon issued
       in 1933.<br><br>Released from prison, Ali applied to the
       Ministry of Education in Ankara asking them to give him his job
       back. Minister of Education Hikmet Bayur asked the young
       dissident to prove his loyalty to the regime, so Ali wrote a
       poem praising Atatürk and published it in the literary journal
       \"Varl?k\" (Existence).<br><br><b>Productive and
       enterprising</b><br><br>After being pardoned by the bureaucrats,
       Ali began living a very productive and energetic life. He was
       working as a teacher, while his real occupation was writing
       poems and fiction. He married Aliye Han?m in 1935. The couple
       had a daughter named Filiz in 1937. Meanwhile, he completed his
       military duty in 1936.<br><br>Some of his short stories
       published in Istanbul literary journals attracted much attention
       from a wide-ranging audience. He liked to write about the bitter
       facts of the lives of the poor. He had a dark and pathetic
       vision. He always ended his stories with the worst conditions,
       including death, poverty, illness, departure and other
       disheartening themes. Furthermore, he used half ambiguous
       metaphors in order to imply the oppression of the state and the
       upper classes on the lower classes. In this, he did not
       necessarily use a socialist point of view. The question whether
       he was a leftist or a rightist would not affect the real
       question about the darkness, negation and despair of his
       style.<br><br>In the novel \"Kuyucakl? Yusuf\" (Yusuf from
       Kuyucak) published in 1937, Ali employs a rare narrative method.
       He writes a true romance story of Yusuf and Muazzez - both names
       are allegorical since Yusuf implies the Prophet Joseph betrayed
       by his brothers and \"Muazzez\" means \"the beloved\" - in the
       middle of a bitterly realistic novel about their social
       environment. Some critics evaluate this as a dichotomy of style,
       while some find it convenient to the subject of the book. The
       plot of \"Kuyucakl? Yusuf\" is crucial, which was a habit for
       Ali in his fiction.<br><br><strong>A tragic
       end</strong><br><br>Ali was very productive in the second half
       of the 1930s and the first half of the 1940s. He published five
       volumes of short stories, one novella and three novels from 1936
       to 1943.<br><br>After Atatürk died and ?smet ?nönü entered the
       presidency and World War II ended, some writers thought that
       they could act freer than before. Ali was among these
       dissidents. He criticized the government and nationalism, his
       previous ideology. The nationalists, led by his old friend Nihal
       Ats?z, protested against him, while the government prosecuted
       him.<br><br>Ali was arrested and imprisoned several times. In
       1948, after being released from prison, he decided to go abroad
       but could not obtain a passport from the government. So he tried
       to cross the border illegally. Unfortunately, he made a deal
       with a truck driver, Ali Ertekin, to cross the Turkish-Bulgarian
       border. Ertekin turned out to be an agent of the National
       Security Service, who killed the dissident writer on April 2,
       1948. The murderer was arrested and faced a court trial before
       he was sentenced to four years in prison.<br><br>Ali once wrote:
       \"Should it be so hard, so full of troubles, and even so
       dangerous to try to make a living without thieving, without
       leaving people with hunger even after they feed you, without
       leaving them naked even after they dress you?\"

       />Dünya” by Melih Cevdet Anday)-The Orderly World-I am so fond o
       f
       this orderly worldThe winter, the summerThe spring, the fallThe
       nights and the days are in order.The roots of the trees are
       under the groundThe mountains have their tops aboveAll the
       mountains have their tops aboveThe people are in their right
       mindsAll the people are in their right mindsThe five fingers are
       all in their proper placesThe thumb, index, middle, ring and the
       pinky.Let’s say the pinky just gets up andWalks towards the
       middle fingerHow would it dare!Or a locust treeBy burying its
       head under the soilTakes a walkHello chestnut, hello
       pineSelamunaleykum, aleykumselamJust while having a small
       talkThe conversation turns to the root of the locustThe wind
       begins soughing then…Its root is out of the ground, out of the
       ground…Or what would happen if a huge mountainTurned upside
       down…God forbid.I am so fond of this orderly worldDown is the
       deadAbove is the livingI feel so pleased!-Translated by R. U.
