	of the Republican era, Re?at Nuri G�ntekin, has been widely
	known for generations, but recently became a household name with
	a TV series adapted from his novels, �Yaprak D�k�m�\' (The Fall
	of Leaves) from 2005 to 2010 and ��al?ku?u\' (The Wren) from
	2013

	private TV channels in Turkey have adapted numerous classic
	novels to series. Most of them are loved by the masses. Two of
	the most popular series in Turkish television history were
	\"Yaprak D�k�m�\" (The Fall of Leaves) from 2005 to 2010, which
	had 174 episodes, and \"�al?ku?u\" (The Wren) from 2013. Both
	were modern adaptations of two novels written in the 1920s by
	Re?at Nuri G�ntekin.<br><br><b>A writer-born
	teacher</b>

	25, 1889. His grandfather, Yaver Pa?a, was a governor and his
	father, Nuri Bey, was a military doctor in the Ottoman army.
	Raised as the only child of this aristocratic family, G�ntekin
	was lucky to have his father\'s vast, personal library in front
	of him. He traveled to Anatolia a lot due to his father\'s
	duties and had the chance to observe the local and traditional
	lifestyles of the region. He graduated from the literature
	department of Dar�lf�nun, which was the only official
	institution of high education in the Ottoman Empire
	in1912.<br><br>

	French language teacher at Istanbul\'s most reputable high
	schools until 1927, the year he married Halide Han?m. He was
	always interested in the social and political issues of the
	country since he began writing during World War I. From the
	1910s to the 1930s he gained a wide reputation as a realist
	writer and novelist.<br><br>

	story titled \"Eski Ahbap\" (Old Friend), which was published in
	1917. He wrote literary criticism and plays in several important
	journals of the time, using funny pseudonyms for his humorous
	and daily pieces: \"Ate?b�ce?i\" (Firefly), \"A?ustosb�ce?i\"
	(Grasshopper), \"Y?ld?zb�ce?i\" (Lightning bug). In 1923 he
	published the humor magazine Kelebek (Butterfly) with his friend
	Mahmut Yesari.<br><br>

	however, was \"�al?ku?u\" (The Wren), a novel that was published
	in episodes in the popular Vakit journal in 1922. In fact, he
	first planned to write a play titled \"?stanbul K?z?\" (Istanbul
	Girl), but quickly realized that such a work was not suitable
	for stage production. He then decided to rewrite it as a novel
	in order to elaborate some social details
	better.<br><br><b>Change in revolutionary
	age</b><b>�</b><br><br>

	from the time this novel first appeared. It was a love story set
	in the conditions of Turkish War of Independence that began in
	1919. With plain language, G�ntekin placed patriotic and
	idealistic emotions into his characters in order to deepen the
	realistic background of the novel. The main character was
	Feride, a well-educated and beautiful women who went to an
	Anatolian village in order to offer a better education to future
	generations of the new Turkish nation. Although it is a love
	story between Feride and Kamuran, the author managed to bring
	this relationship together with the social problems of the
	time.<br><br>

	betrayal have always been main motifs in G�ntekin\'s novels. In
	\"Yaprak D�k�m�,\" published in 1930, he wrote the story of a
	middle-class family that is torn apart after settling in the big
	city after one of the daughters goes to university. The
	family\'s transformation represents the moral crises Turkish
	society witnessed in an age of radical modernization. The
	historical change in familial roles turns from traditional to
	modern. The tree without leaves, which is the main metaphor of
	the novel, has often been interpreted as representing the past
	Ottoman social life. The tension between the authority of
	community life and individual self-realization is the crucial
	emphasis of the novel. The novel has been adapted to film twice
	and reprinted numerous times.<br><br>

	television adaptations of his novels is not surprising. When the
	books were published, G�ntekin rapidly became the most widely
	read author of his time. Behind this success was his writing
	style, which consisted of easy-to-follow plots and vivid
	descriptions of events and processes that his characters
	experienced. G�ntekin was a prominent name of the social realism
	movement, with his novels mostly elaborating individual
	experiences within the changing conditions of his
	time.<br><br><b>Playwright and diplomat</b>

	G�ntekin started to work as an inspector at the National
	Education Ministry. He supported cultural and symbolic
	revolutions made by the new Republican governments and served as
	a deputy for �anakkale between 1933 and 1943 in Parliament. Even
	though he did not write much during his years in politics, with
	his novels had a moral and cultural education, reminding readers
	of the task of establishing roles for the new Republican
	ethos.<br><br>

	wrote plays. Similar to his novels, the characters in his plays
	are also described with conflicted psychology within the human
	condition. Perhaps the reason why G�ntekin\'s works are still
	read and appreciated is because readers can easily identify with
	more than one character at a time. Different, even antagonistic,
	class cultures in Turkish society are perfectly reflected
	through the personal relationships between all of G�ntekin\'s
	characters. Generational conflicts, modernization problems and
	education are the main issues G�ntekin
	used.<br><br>

	of the Republic of Turkey for UNESCO in 1950 where he worked as
	a culture attach� for years. He died from lung cancer in London
	on Dec. 7, 1956, and was buried in Karacaahmet Cemetery in
	Istanbul. A theater in Istanbul\'s Fatih district and two high
	schools are named after him. When he was alive and living in the
	Levent neighborhood the municipality decided to name the road he
	lived on �al?ku?u.<br><br>

	story books, 15 plays and one travel book, \"Notes from
	Anatolia.\" G�ntekin\'s books are still included in primary and
	secondary school syllabi since his fluent and pleasant style is
	a good way to encourage children to love
	literature.
