As I Lived

As I Lived

These writings, scattered across magazines and newspapers, had been forgotten after being read once. No one had ever seen them collected together in a single volume—not even the author himself. Now, everyone who takes pleasure in reading will have the opportunity to enjoy these fine examples of the Turkish language. Gathered together, these writings reveal more clearly Tanpınar’s fields of interest and thought, as well as his principal ideas.

As I Lived (Yaşadığım Gibi), compiled from Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s articles published in various newspapers and magazines, reflects the author’s insightful views on national culture as a poet, short story writer, novelist, and literary historian.
