Biography

He was born in Cide, in the Kastamonu Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey). Ilgaz was one of Turkey’s best-known and most prolific poets and writers, having authored over sixty works. Ilgaz started writing poetry during his junior school years and evolved into one of the prolific social-realist writers of the 20th-century Turkish literature. His poems are considered prime examples of socialist-realistic writing. While he has never really been a partisan of political ideologies, the fact that he has written about the sufferings of the people placed him at a left wing perspective. Like other writers of his time, Ilgaz was imprisoned as a result of one of his publications.

In addition to his writing, he led an accomplished career as a lecturer in Turkish literature. In 1946 he founded a leading satirical weekly magazine, Marko Paşa, with Aziz Nesin and Sabahattin Ali.[1]

Rıfat Ilgaz died in Istanbul on 7 July 1993 due to lung failure. He was buried at Zincirlikuyu Cemetery.[2]

[ru] Ылгаз, Рыфат

Мехмет Рыфат Ылгаз (тур. Rıfat Ilgaz; 7 мая 1911 г.;[2] район Джиде, ил Кастамону — 7 июля 1993, Стамбул), турецкий писатель и поэт, автор романов и рассказов. Стал особенно известен как автор романа «Возмутительный класс». Писатель придерживался социалистического направления как в своих произведениях, так и в жизни. В самые неспокойные для Турции политические периоды он продолжать писать для журналов, из-за чего ему, как и многим другим писателям того периода, пришлось провести много времени в коридорах зданий суда и тюрьме. Рыфат Ылгаз был очень продуктивным писателем: писал стихи и юмористические рассказы, романы и детские книги. Одно время запрещённый и изъятый из продажи роман «Затемнённые ночи» (тур. «Karartma Geceleri») в 2004 году вошёл в список 100 основных произведений, рекомендуемых Министерством образования Турецкой Республики. На сегодняшний день произведения автора печатаются издательством Çınar Yayınları, которое писатель основал вместе с сыном Айдыном Ылгазом.
