Bekir Fahri
BEKIR FAHRI
ottoman turkish writer.
Bekir Fahri was graduated from the Mülkiye and entered the civil service. A partisan of the Young Turks, he was forced to take refuge in Egypt, returning to Istanbul after the 1908 revolution. In 1910, his novel Jönler (The youngsters) was published, and he became literary editor of the journal Piyano. The last years of his life, like the early years, remain a mystery; all that is known is that in 1914, he sent some stories to the magazine Ruhab from Cairo. His naturalist style was heavily influenced by the French author Émile Zola.
