The name of Ali Ekrem Bolayir is known for many reasons. He was Namik Kemal's son, a palace clerk and a writer for Servet-i Funun. He wrote works in many genres, including poetry, theater, memoirs, and stories. His story "Te'ehhul" was found by us in the Osman Ergin collection of the Ataturk Library (under the record Bel_Mtf_070715). This piece was written during the Servet-i Funun period. In his earlier stories, Ali Ekrem's main themes were the importance of family institution, the ideal marriage model, and childhood education. Here, the general emphasis falls on how marriage should be, and life experience before marriage is emphasized. In "Te'ehhul," the idea that the family as an institution cannot be established as a result of others' decisions is emphasized, and the writer places his own determinations and suggestions in the text. In addition, this story, written in relation to the understanding of language and thought seen in the Servet-i Funun community with which Ali Ekrem is affiliated, is written in the author's hand and shows word and composition preferences. The main purpose of this study can is to transfer correctly the story text to the novel alphabet and present it to the readers' use, additionally performing a textual analysis that emphasizes the general characteristics of and references in the story.
