Sait Faik's European Days
In 1931, he went to Lausanne, Switzerland, to study economics at his father's request. Tired of the boredom of the city where he stayed for 15 days, he moved to Grenoble, France. He attended Champollion High School to learn French in this city. Then, he studied at the Faculty of Letters at the University of Grenoble for three semesters. The author lived for more than three years in Grenoble, established in the foothills of the Alps and known for its various industrial and scientific institutions. During his days there, he visited Paris, Lyon and Strasbourg, and went to Milan for a short time with his uncle. He came to Istanbul in the summer of 1932, and in 1934 he returned to Istanbul by the request of his family, via the Danube River through Central Europe. He settled in Rumeli Apartment on Rumeli Street in Nişantaşı, where his family had just moved. After Bursa Boys' High School, he left the schools he went to in Istanbul and abroad without getting a diploma. In the following years, he explained that he was actually wandering around the city where he attended the University of Grenoble and tried to find his literary personality.
