After the Tanzimat Edict, which was announced in 1839, new literary genres such as theater, novel and short story were taken from the West in Turkish literature; new issues such as freedom and homeland begin to emerge. The Turkish poet and writer also takes literary movements from the West. In the first period of Tanzimat, movements such as classicism, romanticism and realism found their place in Turkish literature. In the second period of the Tanzimat, the movements became widespread. II. during Abdulhamit's sultanate, when he decamped from political and social issues in the summer, the authors discussed currents among themselves. Important names of the period such as Ahmet Mithat Efendi, Nabizâde Nâzım, Beşir Fuat and Mehmet Tahir participated in these discussions, which went down in the history of Turkish literature as “Hayaliyûn-Hakikiyûn”. These discussions will be helpful in better understanding the currents in Turkish literature and using them correctly in the works. Samipaşazade Sezai, who found himself in the second generation of the Tanzimat period in the history of Turkish literature, uses the currents from Western literature in accordance with his principles. His stories have the characteristics of both emotionalism and realism. The author uses these two trends together in some of his stories. This style is quite remarkable in that it reflects the understanding of the period. Because Turkish literature is moving from emotionalism to realism. The place of Samipaşazade Sezai, who played an important role in this transition period, in the history of Turkish short stories is mentioned in many studies. However, no separate study has been carried out until today by focusing on the enthusiasm movement seen in the stories he wrote from the second period of the Tanzimat to the first years of the Republic. In fact, it can be said that the stories in the books that came after Küçük Şeyler were ignored. In the study carried out to eliminate these deficiencies, the traces of the emotionalism trend in Samipaşazade Sezai's stories are shown with concrete examples in the form of pessimism, opposition, nature and animals, and evaluations are made on them in an argumentative style. Thus, the emotional flow in the author's stories is clarified.
