Servet-i Fünun (Ottoman Turkish: ثروت فنون, romanized: Ṣervet-i Fünūn, lit. 'The Wealth of the Arts/Sciences[lower-alpha 1]'; French: Servetifunoun) was an avant-garde journal published in the Ottoman Empire and later in Turkey. Halit Ziya (Uşaklıgil) and the other writers of the "New Literature" (Ottoman Turkish: Edebiyat-i Jedide) movement published it to inform their readers about European, particularly French, cultural and intellectual movements.[1] In operation from 1891 until 1944, it was for its first year a supplement of the newspaper Servet, but became an independent publication from 1892.[2]
