Society and Literature

Adnan Binyazar, who has made great contributions to our literary culture, is one of the most productive essayists of our world of thought. "The book directs the person to think wisely and makes him virtuous. A person becomes aware of his existence on earth only through a book. This act, which gives the person the habit of using time in the most positive way, also opens the door to a world in which he can think endlessly. The contradictory identity of Goethe's Faust can only be solved through books." Those who enter through this door can understand it. The book is the cultural document of human existence. It is the book that carries it from age to age and puts it on the path of free thinking. Isn't man only 'human' to the extent that he attains the consciousness of intellectual existence?

This book by Adnan Binyazar, who has made great contributions to our world of thought with his seminal articles on art and literature, consists of articles that shed light on all the fields in which the artist is involved. Society and Literature examines the position of the artist vis-à-vis society: What is the duty of art and the artist? Why do people write and why do people read? What was the attitude of the state, laws and traditions towards the artist?

What are the sources of our literature? Binyazar spends time asking all these questions and researching their answers. He addresses himself as a sage to those who are interested in art and those who seek the meaning of human existence. We hope that the new expanded edition of Society and Literature will not go unnoticed by the younger generation.
