In this study, the translation of Sabahattin Ali's novel" Madonna in a fur coat" by Georgian Turcologist Dr. Nana Canaşia into the translation titled "მადონა ბეწვის მანტოში/Madona Betsvis Mantoşi" in 2017 will be focused in a comparative text analysis with target focused approach and there will be an attempt to present suggestions for translation of texts. This study has an important place in the comparison of original text to translation text with target focused approach. In particular, the translation of the work by the translator and the use of his own specific interpretation for the translation of the text determine the main subject of the research.
