Pioneer Heroes of Civilisation: Robinson Crusoe and Ahmet Celâl

Abstract

Comparing Robinson Cusoe and Yaban would be a very interesting attempt in many points. When we place the adventures of the heroes ofthese two novels into their histarical place, we can see the similarities between these two different experiences. Despite all historical, cultural and literary differences, these similarities would be quite striking. In this work, by bringing these differences and similarities into light, I will try to answer the questions about the reasons of these differences and similarities.
