N2  - Texts written bysignificant names of the literary world after their travels to variousgeographies are regarded as important sources for not only the world of literature,but also sociologists, anthropologists, historians, political scientists andculture researchers today. Observations of writers and artists, written with adifferent sensibility and perspective from others’, reveal realities hiddenunder observations and their working processes. Although an artist’simagination sometimes seems to hide the reality and isolate it from itscontext, it either clearly gives utterance to what many other scientific areascannot articulate, or it inculcates. In this respect, those texts are of greatimportance. The Soviet Union under the regimen of Gorbachev invited fifteen artistsand philosophers including significant names such as Claude Simon, ArthurMiller, Peter Ustinov, Federico Major, Yaşar Kemal and Zülfü Livaneli toIssyk-Kul Forum, led by Chinghiz Aitmatov, and held in Bishkek, Kirghizstan in1986. Nobel laureate Claude Simon, one of the most famous names of contemporaryFrench literature, edited and published his travel notes under the title L’Invitation/The Invitation upon his return to France. Simon’s work depicts theworld behind the ‘Iron Curtain’ with a cynical and ingenious expression, and itpresents pictures of the Soviet regime maintaining its enigma as a ‘closed box’even today, as well as offering impressive aspects of life style in thatgeography. The aim of this study is to expose this travel and the Soviet Unionfragments under the regimen of Gorbachev from the French viewpoint withexamples from the above-mentioned text, from Claude Simon’s perspective as aWestern and independent luminary, by researching the narrative structure of thetext.
