Bulgaristan’daki Türklerin Romanı (1912-2021)

Abstract

The novel, which is the common literary genre of modern times, has been an important criterion that determines the quality of literary production in any language since the formation of national literatures. In advanced societies in literature, it was seen that the novel genre more or less followed the qualified level. This issue had the same perspective in the regions where Turkish language and literature lived as a minority language. The novels created by the Turks of Bulgaria are an important reflection area of the feeling and thought world of the Turkishness of the region, as well as giving an idea about the quality of the Turkish-speaking literature activity developing in the region. This study is based primarily on a bibliographic basis and then on a general due diligence. From the first novel published in Turkish in Bulgaria to the present day, a chronological and comprehensive information has been given about the tags, authors and contents of the works in question. In this context, a general framework of the Turkish novel in Bulgaria has been presented with a historicist and holistic approach.
