Biography
Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, was born in Cairo on 27 March 1889. He was the son of Abdul Kadir Bey, a member of the Karaosmanoğlu family which started to gain a reputation in the 17th century around the Manisa region. His mother was İkbal Hanım, a woman in Ismail Pasha's palace community. Until the age of six, he was raised in Cairo, after which his family moved to their homeland, Manisa. He completed his primary education in Manisa, and in 1903, the family moved to İzmir.
Karaosmanoğlu was one of the contributors of İkdam during the Turkish War of Independence and after the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923, a representative of Manisa to the Grand National Assembly from 1931 to 1934. Karaosmanoğlu was the founding editor-in-chief of Tan newspaper which was launched in 1935 and served in the post until 1938.[2] Then until 1955, he served as an ambassador of Turkey in various European and Middle Eastern capitals.
Following his return to Turkey, he served as the editor of Ulus in 1957. In 1961, he was a representative of the constituent assembly of the National Unity Committee following the 1960 coup d'état. His last political position was again as a representative of Manisa to the Grand National Assembly from 1961 to 1965. In 1966, he was elected chairman of the Anadolu Agency.

Works
Yakup Kadri's first work was published in 1913. His novel Yaban (Stranger, 1932) depicts the bitter experiences of a Turkish intellectual, Ahmed Celal, in the countryside after losing his arm in the Battle of Gallipoli. Though categorized as naturalist, the novel has a romantic, anti-pastoral quality.
His novel Panorama analyzes the political, social, and economical changes during the transition period from the Turkish Empire to the Turkish Republic. It is considered to be a "generation novel" as the story is based on the lives of several generations of the same family during this transitional period. The novel is written entirely in Turkish.
He was one of the theorists of the Kadro movement[1] and among the founders of Kadro magazine.[3]
Personal life
Karaosmanoğlu married Ayşe Leman Karaosmanoğlu who was a daughter of Mehmed Asaf Paşa, an Ottoman pasha.[4][5] Burhan Belge was Leman's brother, and her nephew is Turkish author Murat Belge.[5]
