In the novel by tarık buğra of the national ıdeal symbolıc face: küçük ağa

Changes in socio-cultural structure of nations are reflected in their literary works with all their reflections. Turkish literature includes characteristic examples that symbolize the reflective role of art as well. Especially the Turkish novel of the Republican era witnesses the adventure of being rebuilt with its structure nourished from the recent history and Anatolian people. This situation prepares the ground for the new school like the country literature that started in the 1920s and continues to the present day. After 1950, Tarık Buğra joined this school. Tarık Buğra reflects the impact of national struggle on society's memory from a different perspective. The Küçük Ağa is the symbolic expansion of this situation. Küçük Ağa is the embodied spirit of the culturally changing mindset; the author narrates the person who is strong-willed to reestablish his future against the empire's suicidal situation in the name of Küçük Ağa. In the context of the reflections of the National Struggle on literature, we have examined this study in two main sections with reference to the transformation experienced by the protagonist. In the first part, we discussed the personalized face of the concepts of the sultan and the caliphate, and in the second part, we discussed the will of the Turkish society that fought for existence by clinging to the judgmental side of the national ideal.
