Abstract

İhsan Oktay Anar is one of the contemporary Turkish authors who are separated from classical perspectives by means of the alternative approach they bring to the history and who can not only choose the words elaborately but also turn them into textual games. It can be seen that the "well" motive stands out with its important place in the lives of three characters -Yafes Çelebi, Calud and Üzeyir- in Anar's second novel Kitab-ül Hiyel which was published in 1996. "Well" can be associated with conceptual values such as "safety", "protection", "camouflage" and "wisdom" when it is considered as closed, narrow and deep. On the other hand, it can also be associated with other conceptual values like "unreliable", "scary", "uncontrolled" and "restraining" if it is perceived as subterranean, dark and dehydrated. The functions of well which is reflected from the consciousness of three generation inventors and which is a solution place for their passions, conflicts and problems are going to be questioned in this study.
