Servet-i Fünun was a literary and cultural movement in the late 19th century in the Ottoman Empire. It emerged as a response to the modernization and Westernization efforts of the time, focusing on realism and the exploration of contemporary social issues. The movement was characterized by its emphasis on scientific thought and artistic expression, often reflecting the lives and struggles of ordinary people. The Servet-i Fünun magazine, founded in 1896, played a crucial role in promoting this movement. It featured works by prominent writers such as Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil and Mehmet Rauf, who sought to introduce new literary styles and themes. The movement significantly influenced Turkish literature, paving the way for future generations of writers.
