Özet:

 

The French adjective “romanesque”, which derives from the French word for “novel” and which means, in a broader sense, something out of the ordinary or something that  derives  from  dream  and  imagination  can  be  taken  as  a  principal  term  to  understand the situation of the traveler writer who leaves her/his home to discover beyond  the  limits  of  her/his  habitual  sphere.  Travel  writing  offers,  at  that  point,  a  notable  prospect  regarding  the  reception  of  the  reality  when  it  comes  to  have  an  experience  in  an  unknown  place  with  unpredictable  conditions.  In  this  sort  of  writing, the space and the personality take part in an eventual and exclusive relation under the condition of strangeness related to the circumstances of elsewhere and to the changing individual state of the traveler. Thus, an ordinary habitant becomes,  first,  traveler  when  s/he  leaves  the  home,  then,  becomes  traveler  writer  when  s/he  reports  her/his  experience,  finally,  “romanesque  traveler”  when  her/his  psychical  travel  experience  gives  a  wordily  result  through  creating  a  new  world in which the traveler writer takes the role of attentive observer who tends to see in things the unseen, the hidden, the  imaginative  and  the  sensational.  By  referring  to  the  literary  works,  with  the  theme  “travel”,  that  have  been  realized  throughout the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries, this paper aims to show a possible conceptual association and a consecutive relation that occur between the titles “traveler writer” and “romanesque traveler” as a phenomenon of travel literature.
