The family stories in the early works by Orhan Pamuk: ideology and poetics

The article analyses two of the first novels by Orhan Pamuk. The novel “Cevdet Bey and sons” is a family chronicle with a positive ending because here we see the dominance of sequential (linear) presentation of the events that characterizes and distinguishes the chronicle from other genres. In the second novel “House of silence” there is no consistent linear narrative of the events, we deduct the past from retrospective series. This genre is a socio-psychological novel, however, unlike its predecessor, this work is elegiacal in general.
