Summary/Abstract: In the story book of Ferit Edgü titled Bir Gemide there exist many reality layers (i.e. experience, reflex, corruption and perception etc.) and all of these are questioned. Some realities encounter in same context and display a combative identity. In every case the author approaches to the fact with suspicion and doesn’t let the fact to be absolute.

Newspaper plays double role in projection and in transformation of the reality. Existentialism has a crucial influence for this problematic transition and the replacement of reality with doubt.
