Ahmet Cavit Rasim (1864–1932) was an Ottoman liberal politician, composer, member of parliament and writer, who wrote primarily about social issues.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Ahmet Cavit Rasim was born in Istanbul in 1864.[3] He was a graduate of the Darüşşafaka High School.[3] After graduation he worked as a civil servant for a short time.[3] Then he also worked as a journalist, edited a humor magazine, and published books.[4][3] He wrote in a neutral, apolitical tone and his writings were popular. He also translated some literary works and composed music.[3] He worked for numerous publications, including Tercüman-ı Hakikat, Saadet, İkdam, Sabah, Malumat, Servet, Servet-i Fünun, Tanin, Hak, and Tasvîr-i Efkâr.[3]
He died in 1932.[3]
Personal life
[edit]He married Sadberk Hanım during the early months of his civil service career; from this marriage, which lasted until his wife's death in 1902, he had four sons and two daughters.[5]
It is observed that Mahmut Sırrı—the son of Ahmed Rasim, who did not have a surname because he passed away before the Surname Law—bore the surname "Arık".[6]
