dc.description.abstract'Dialectical-materialism' has a decisive place in Naz & imath;m Hikmet's worldview and method of artistic creativity. In his poem 'Night/Doctor Faust's House', Goethe's Faust is taken as a basis, and an attempt is made to identify the lyrical traces of the poet's life reflected in this poem. Naz & imath;m Hikmet was going through hard times when he wrote this poem, dated 22 December 1956. Despite being an optimistic poet, the 'lyrical I' in this poem is pessimistic because of the loss of his mother, political disappointment and illness. The socialist poet tries to compensate for the bitterness he feels because of incorrect practices of the Soviet regime by making lyrical protests in his poems. Naz & imath;m Hikmet's emotional outbursts caused by being away from his son, family, environment, hometown and Istanbul for long years emerge as lyrical poems. The poet is not the 'Faustian man' who wants to take over the world, but the 'lyric man'.
