Abstract
Reading history is the most important human activity. Reading and understanding history means analysing and understanding ourselves. Meanwhile history is a one-dimensioned branch of science and a history writer cannot have subjectivity while dealing with it. In this situation historical novel occupies the scese. Nowadays, the research indicates that archetypes continue to survive by changing their appearance in literary works such as modern novels and stories. Mustafa Necati Sepetçioğlu as a writer of historical novel gave a dimension to time by carrying history into novel.
