CIVILIZATION THAT REFLECTED TO CITY/ THE CITY THAT REFLECTED TO LITERATURE (City in the Works of Yahya Kemal Beyatl？ and Ahmet Hamdi Tanp？nar)

The city is a place that exists with people and continues to exist with the people. This place transforms into an identity producing civilization due to its dependence on people in the historical process. The similarity of the concepts of urbanization and civilization comes from the fact that they both contain human beings. The authors, who are prone to emotional intensity and artistic perception, design both their external worlds and their inner worlds with aesthetic sensations. This outer world is also paid as a city. Yahya Kemal Beyatl？ and Ahmet Hamdi Tanp？nar are among the writers who perceive the historical phenomenon in Turkish literature together with the city and perceive both in artistic sense and in the focus of national identity. The main body of this book is how the concept of city is perceived in human-history-civilization plane in the works of these writers. Mehmet Güne？, in his book which he dedicated to his teacher M. Orhan Okay, examines the phenomenon of city in depth and includes the perspectives of local and foreign thinkers. Then he deals with identity, fine arts, landscape, architecture, music, change, entertainment, women, institutional structures, visual arts, spiritual leaders, natural and human subjects. This handling is in the frame of Yahya Kemal Beyatl？ and Ahmet Hamdi Tanp？nar's works. The cities that affect the lives of these two writers around the phenomenon of the city, Mehmet Güne？, have reflected in a deep perspective. This book allows our cities, which are forgotten to be forgotten in the imagination of readers, to be remembered again by the hand of the authors with their artistic design and aesthetic feeling
