Huzur

Tanpinar sees our culture as the manifestation of an "inner world civilization". This civilization was created by people who had a certain morality, "believed in their spiritual duties, passed through a certain spiritual order, and educated their souls". Mümtaz, one of the heroes of Huzur, searches for an "internal order" that will bring him "peace" throughout the novel. In the work, illness, death, nature, cosmic elements, civilization, social issues, various moods and aesthetic ideas are intertwined. However, above all this, it is the love between Mümtaz and Nuran that dominates the novel. Istanbul ceases to be the environment where this love takes place and is treated almost like a novel hero. It can be said that it expresses the "unrest" of the Republican intellectuals who have not been able to reach a certain world view and a certain order of life for peace.
