The author analyses national ideas in the literature from the 19th and 20th centuries until today, explaining the development of the concept family in each epoch. In the 20th century, writers paid attention to personal happiness. In defining personal happiness the writers associated it not only with devoting life to the nation, but also with family relations, traditions, education and upbringing. After the October Revolution some ideologues changed, among them that man’s fate was connected with social life and it had to be given in literature. Involvement in a social and party life affected the view of a family life. The literature of the 1920s was inspired by these ideas. Soon afterwards the issue of a person, a family, and a society as cause-and-effect relations was analyzed in a social and physiological cognition in literature. Some reforms in literature exposed Turkish society as having some changes in the family. Turkish literature masterpieces included such issues as the influence of European traditions, historic and cultural events on the relationships of family members, and the role of the father and the woman’s role in the family.
Key words: Tatar literature, Turkish literature, epoch, family, common ethical values, man’s fate.
