Abstract

Yaşar Kemal is a world famous writer with his novel İnce Memed I. Novel that has won the Novel Present of Varlık Publication has been translated into many languages. First translated into Persian in 1974 by Semin Bağçeban, it has attracted an attention in Iran. Works of Yaşar Kemal have been published by different writers and publishers and it necessitates to study extensively the effects of his works to modern Persian novel. Hasan Mir Abidini who draws attention with his studies on novels and stories in modern Persian literature indicates in his work named Sad Sal-i Dastannevese-ye İran that Madiyan Dağı Üzerinde Bir Çerağ of Mansur Yakuti is the simplified version of İnce Memed I. In this study, with reference to views of Mir Abidini, Madiyan Dağı Üzerinde Bir Çerağ and İnce Memed I will be examined within the context of formative structuralist approach comparatively. We will try to appeal the influence of İnce Memed I on Madiyan Dağı Üzerinde Bir Çerağ by putting forward similarities and differences of two works. Appearance of village novel in Persia began in 1950s but its development was in 1960s and 1970s. Because Shah got impressed by western countries and he couldn’t manage income properly, the level of welfare diminished and that got the reaction of people. Although Shah included land reform in reform movements named Beyaz Devrim in order to help society, those reforms were non- permanent. Excessive pressure of western countries on Shah led intellectuals to tend to ordinary village life and national values as a reaction to western thinking with the effects of Marxist idea. The role of translations from western literature is highly important here.
