The First and Second Generation Immigrant Turks in Germany in the Stories of Osman Ceviksoy

Summary/Abstract: Immigration is a human phenomenon which depends on many reasons. The first Turkish immigrations to Germany are called as “wage labor immigration” which depends on financial reasons. The desire to live richer and in better conditions, the exposed unemployment in Turkey has been a major reason for immigration. After a while, due to the political reasons, immigrations and asylum to German will begin as well. In this study, we will try to catch the frames of life of the first and second generation immigrant Turks and observe the Germans in the eyes of the Turks, and Turks in the eyes of the Germans starting from the stories of Osman Ceviksoy, a teacher story writer, who lived in Germany for a while and taught Turkish to immigrant Turkish children between the years of 1982-1987. Here, we will try to utilize from the mirror function of the genre of story which can touch the privacy of little human.The stories of Osman Ceviksoy , which emerged as a result of the reflection of the events that affected his world of soul and heart while working in Germany, come forward mainly in his three books. We will focus on the books named Ağlamak Yasak (1984), Duvarın Öte Yanı (1984) and Derdimi Gül Eyledim (1989) beside revising the other ones. In the stories of Osman Ceviksoy, the yearning of the naive Anatolian people who went to Germany to work from Anatolia besides the great confusion that arose from life and mental differences with German people is mentioned in a very cool style.
