After his death in 1944, the three-story house he had built with his own means suffered no unfortunate fate. Let me start with excerpts from the news I wrote in 2011: The writer spent his summers rented on Heybeliada for about 10 years starting from the early 1900s. His first novel, 'Şık', serialized in the Tercüman-ı Hakikat newspaper in 1888, brought him fame and was published as his first book the following year. He was one of the best-selling and most profitable writers of his time. The certificate given by Abdülhamit II for his success is on the wall of his house. The writer, who earned a great profit of 700 gold liras from his novel 'Şıpsevdi' published in 1911, bought a plot of land on a high spot of the island far from the shore the following year and started to build his house. THE WRITERS EVEN MADE THE CROCHETS OF THE COVERS BY THEMSELVES When you step inside, you come across a large hall arranged as a living room on the first floor and a small section used by the writer as a reading room. There was actually quite a lot of stuff on the first floor at the time. But (as I will explain) it was looted. On the upper floor, there is a study and dining and bedrooms that provide interesting information about the writer. The table in the dining room is set as if Gürpınar will be coming to dinner soon. Antique furniture, French-style crystal drinking and porcelain dinner sets give clues about the author's taste. The first thing that catches your eye in the bedroom is the embroidered pink coverlet on the bed. These embroideries, which are clearly meticulously made but have succumbed to time, and the crocheted motifs on the dusty coverlet of the kitchen table are the author's own.
