Biography
Omer Seyfettin was born in Kahta, a town in Balikesir Province, to a Circassian family in 1884. Son of a military official, he spent his early life travelling around the coast of Marmara Sea. He graduated from a military veterinary academy in 1896, followed by a prolonged military education that lasted until the 1903 events in Macedonia.
After serving in the conflict as infantry second lieutenant, he was posted as an instructor in a military school in Izmir. This position was an opportunity for Seyfettin to improve his French, and interact with like-minded young writers.
