Book Title: Yalnız Efe (Açıklamalı Orijinal Metin) (Annotated Original Text)
Author: Ömer Seyfettin
Publisher: Can Yayınları
Genre: Story
Series: Inheritance
Distribution Date: January 16, 2024
One of the first works that comes to mind when we think of Ömer Seyfettin, Yalnız Efe was first published as a story in 1918, and a year later he revisited it and began to serialize it as a novel with the subtitle “Anatolian Novel”. Unfortunately, he was not able to complete the serialization, which coincided with the last period of his life, and Yalnız Efe remained as a half novel whose ending we know from its story form. In this study, which was prepared without touching the original language and narration of the author, these two versions of Yalnız Efe were brought together. This unique story is accompanied by ten stories on different subjects from the author’s rich archive.
