Reading Huzur from Its Oppositional Meaning

Summary/Abstract: Tanpınar, who likens happiness to a "fresh fruit", aims to emphasize that happiness is a temporary pleasure. Indeed, happiness is like a whole series of moments that are overshadowed by the pursuit and even attracted by it. While these moments sometimes express a material pleasure, they also tell a spiritual inner adventure. The novel, Huzur tells about peace in the shadow of a series of uncertainties/anxieties for twenty-four hours in total. Although the stories seem to describe peace in an ironic way, what is actually told is an expression of inner restlessness. There is no absolute bliss; there is only the preference for peace guided by anxiety and uncertainty. In the study; the fiction of the novel, the relationship of persons with each other, the period, the perspective of space, worries, fears and uncertainties of the characters, and the concept of peace will be examined through unrest.
