Özet Türkçe
German Author Thorsten Becker's novel "Galib with Numbers", published in 2004, is an important work that conveys Eastern/Turkish culture (Turkey and immigration) from a German perspective. The novel, besides bringing European and Turkish culture face to face, allows a German writer to make Turks and their mentality understandable through empathy. In addition, the novel provides an opportunity to compare eastern and western cultures. Since cultural diversity increases the interest in foreign cultures, the field of literature, in which this interest is reflected, can be seen as a tool to promote other cultures. This novel, in which there is an intercultural conflict that includes issues such as identity problem/Otherness, offers the opportunity to see how Turkish culture is evaluated as the other. As a German writer, Becker reflects people of different nationalities, cultures, impressions and deals with Turkey/Turkish impressions through empathy. Combining his own impressions/evaluations within the scope of themes such as the Eastern theme and being the Other, Becker shows that he can create a work that is of great importance in multicultural societies and has an intercultural quality. Keywords; Interculturalism, Pursuit of Eastern, Cultural Conflict.
