Great Migratory Bird: Yahya Kemal Beyatlı

Stating that his studies on Yahya Kemal have a thirty-year history, Alim Kahraman, this time, completed the poet's biography and presented it to the readers under the name Büyük Immigrant Bird. In the work, which embraces Yahya Kemal research to its final point, the information on this path is subjected to serious criticism and selection. Based on the "chronological" view, which Yahya Kemal translated into Turkish as "year order", Kahraman thus makes visible many previously overlooked details.

Yahya Kemal, Turkish poetry taste and language, 19th century. He is one of the few poets who played a major role in its re-establishment after the great shock it went through in the 19th century. Turkish literary taste, after filtering through some artificial accumulations, developed into a deep and human perception of art in the 20th century. It was reached by them within the first quarter of the century. The founding power of the poet was not limited to language and literature; fate also required them to take on the first positions in the process of rebuilding a nation.

In The Great Migratory Bird, the different flows in the poet's life progress together, revealing an integrated portrait as a man of literature, civilization and politics.
