Biography
Biography
His many novels, plays, short stories, and essays include his 1899 romance novel Aşk-ı Memnu ("Forbidden Love"), which has been adapted into an internationally successful television series of the same name.
Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil studied at İzmir Atatürk High School. The recorded working language is Turkish, French and Ottoman Turkish. The field of work recorded is literary activity, Turkish literature and novel. Works named in the authority record are Forbidden Love and Ferdi and his Associates.
Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil was born in Istanbul in 1866. He went to primary school and then attended the secondary school Fatih Rüştiyesi in the same city. His family moved to Izmir in 1879. He completed his secondary education in Izmir attending the school which now is known as İzmir Atatürk Lisesi. He later attended an Armenian Catholic school to learn French where he completed his first translation works. Uşaklıgil founded the newspaper Hizmet in 1886. After 1896 his works were published in the Turkish literary journal Servet-i Fünun, known for its adoption of European literary styles. When his novel Kırık Hayatlar (Broken Lives) was censored by the Ottoman regime of Abdul Hamid II in 1901, he stopped publishing novels. He contributed to Mehâsin, a women's magazine which was started in the aftermath of the Young Turk Revolution in 1908. In addition, his novel Ferdi ve Şürekası (Ottoman Turkish: Ferdi and his Associates) was serialized in the magazine. Kırık Hayatlar could only be published in 1923 after the establishment of modern Turkey. Uşaklıgil's early style is based closely on French Romanticism and most of his novels deal with unfulfilled love. His work is distinguished from contemporary Turkish literature by its more concrete form and creates its own artistic language through the use of Persian and Arabic loanwords. In his later years the writer moved to the village of San Stefano near Istanbul. In 1926, when a new law was imposed to give a Turkish name to each community, he suggested the village's present name of Yeşilköy (literally: "Green Village").
