Abstract

Subjects such as how the bourgeoisie created during the years of foundation of the Turkish Republic seized the possesssions of the old Ottoman nobility after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire; the differences between the two classes stemming both from the environmental circumstances and the education they got and the deep abbys created as a result of this are aimed to be discussed in this study. In this context the most suitable method defined for the study is the literature sociology which brings literature and sociology together under the same roof. Through literature sociology, which is built upon the notion that both literature moulds the political, social and economic circumstances by directing them and socio-political and economic circumstances also affect the literature, it will be focused on how Zülfü Livaneli’s novel called Leyla’nın Evi reflected that period of transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic. The reasons and the way how the Ottoman aristocracy lost their possessions and how the bourgeoisie having started to rise in the same period, on the contrary, obtained those possessions will be revealed by the examples from the novel.
