YEVGENİ YEVTUŞENKO’NUN “YABAN YEMİŞLERİ” ROMANINDA ALGISAL MEKÂN “SİBİRYA”
SIBERIA - THE PERCEPTUAL SETTING IN YEVTUSHENKO’S “WILD BERRIES” NOVEL

Summary/Abstract: In a novel, setting is not only an area of events. The setting is an atmosphere that reflects all the changes in the social and cultural life of the reflections of the inner world of a figure. Through setting, the fictional world created becomes visible. The importance of setting and the shape in the novel depends on the priorities of the author and his view of art. Therefore, individual differences play a decisive role in the authors' approach to setting. Thus, the author can consciously make the setting functional through fiction. One of the most famous poets and writers of the twentieth century, Yevgeny Yevtushenko's novel “Wild Berries” (Yagodnıe mesta) (1982) has this feature, either. As in many of the author's poems, “Wild Berries” also takes place in Siberia. Although there is a utopian fictional planet, the main setting of the novel is Siberia. With taiga, rivers and houses, Siberia is sometimes friendly and sometimes hostile to many people in the novel. As stated in the works of village prose writers, this situation is related to the approach of the character to Siberia and the perception of Siberia. In this study, Siberia, which is known and described well in the book “Wild Berries” by Yevtushenko, will be approached in terms of environmental setting and perceptual setting and how the geography of Siberia is perceived by the author and novel characters will be revealed.
