The basic motivation of the study is built upon the opinion that the use of fiction elements
will gain new insight into the field when examining social phenomena that are not completed
and frozen structures. The art of Novel; with its flexible and dynamic structure, variety of
narration and the form of its own specific phraseology, has the ability to open different
windows into social sciences. In the study, entrepreneurship and cultural relations were
discussed through a Muslim-Turkish entrepreneurial novel character in the last periods of the
Ottoman Empire, on the eve of the II.Constitution, on the basis of the novel Orhan Pamuk
Cevdet Bey ve Oğulları. Given the history of entrepreneurship, it is quite difficult to put
entrepreneurs into a specific type and explain. Despite this, there are many myths and
typologies that determine how an entrepreneur should be. At this point, the importance of
sociocultural values is a size that cannot be underestimated. The work of art namely Cevdet
Bey ve Oğulları is a family chronicle written in a social and historical perspective. The
equation between the political, social and economic events of the period and the characters
has given a panoramic feature to all parts of the novel. This is why it is open to sociological
reading.
