Abstract

Literary texts are classified in different ways according to their form and content features. The story, among the literary genres dependent on narration, can also be defined as a product of the author's effort to transfer human and human life to fiction via her own world of thought and knowledge. The story interacts with many fields such as language, religion, history, geography, sociology and psychology, as it takes its source from people and human life. Thus, the writer in the process of constructing the stories,the reader and the researcher in the analysis process should benefit from these areas adequately.
Mustafa Kutlu, one of the writers of 1960s, has 28 story books already published. An analysis study was carried out on the stories in order to identify the religious and human elements in the stories that reflect the author's world view. Quotations from authors and their works have an important place in Turkish literature in the stories; expressions reflecting verses, hadiths, prayers and religious values; repetitions that are consciously reflected in the fiction and thought to point to the life cycle have been identified. In the context of religious elements, the world life reflected in the fiction, the life cycle and the lifestyle based on the Islamic belief; expression based on social structure, Anatolian people, art, craft, literature, history and geography , the context of human elements have been evaluated. Religious and human elements reflecting the worldview of Kutlu, who was devoted to tradition, were tried to be revealed through story examples.
