He worked for French and German companies, the Ottoman Bank, the Reji Administration, and after 1931 he settled in Ankara and worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1948, he returned to Istanbul and settled in an apartment overlooking the Bosphorus in Ayaspaşa. For a while, he worked as the editor-in-chief of the magazine Türk Yurdu (1954-57). He died of a cerebral hemorrhage at his home in Cihangir in 1963.

He began his literary career in the Armistice years with poetry, book reviews and criticism in Dergâh and Yarın magazines. From 1921 onwards, he became known for his articles in the newspapers İleri and Medeniyet; he also wrote for the magazines 7Ağaç, Varlık, Ülkü and Türk Yurdu, and the newspapers Milliyet, Hâkimiyet-i Milliye and Dünya. Although he was a writer of the Republican period, Hisar remained loyal to the Constitutionalist generation in terms of language and style, and all of his works are mainly based on “memoirs”. In his novels, he adopted the literary approach of writers such as Maurice Barrés, Anatole France and Marcel Proust.

Winner of the 1942 CHP Story and Novel Prize, Fahim Bey and Us was translated into German (Unser Guter Fahim Bey, trans.: Friedrich Von Rummel, 1956).

İleri, YK7Y, 1992), Geçmiş Zaman Edipleri (Haz.: T. Yıldırım, Selis, 2005) and Kelime Kavgası: “On Literature and the Novel” (Selis, 2005). Emre Aracı composed a violin concerto of the same name (1997) inspired by the Bosphorus Moonlight. ...more

Quotes by Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar (?)

“Çoğumuz bir türlü hayata alışmamak ve onunla anlaşamamak yüzünden rahatı daima bulunduğumuz yerden başka bir yerde ve yaşadığımız zamandan başka bir zamanda bulacağımızı hayal ederiz. Saadet bize hiçbir zaman elimizde gözükmez. Ömrümüz böylece şimdi sürmemiz nasip olmayan ve güya saadete erecek bir başka ömre hazırlanış mahiyetinde geçer. Fakat yazık ki böyle ziyan olan hayatın sonunda bize nasip olacak bir ikinci ömrümüz yoktur!”
― Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, Çamlıca'daki Eniştemiz

“İnsanlar, birbirlerinden uzun mesafelere ayrılmış yıldızlar gibi, kendi hususî boşlukları içinde dönen, hepsi yalnız, hepsi mahrem ve başkalarına kapalı birer dünyadır. Bir yıldız sönünce ondan uzaktakiler bir şey duymaz.”
― Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, Fahim Bey ve Biz

“Eskiden hep sinemanın "ralanti" sahneleri gibi geçen hayat, şimdi hızını gittikçe arttıran mecnun, yani bozulmuş bir çark gibi dönüyor. Transatlantiklerin, otomobillerin, tayyarelerin müthiş süratinden bahsolunuyor. Halbuki zaman bunların hepsinden daha çabuk geçiyor.”
― Abdülhak Şinasi Hisar, Ali Nizamî Beyin Alafrangalığı ve Şeyhliği
