In this dissertation which is a comparative study, we will explicate the human - nature relationship in the direction of the data of semiology in the works of two authors who are known as nature lovers in their countries, in contemporary French author Jean Giono's Colline and living Turkish author Yaşar Kemal's Ortadirek. In the first section, we will make a general introduction to our study considering that the element of nature is present in both works. In the second section, although we keep the authors separate from their works, we will mention about the autobiographies of the authors regarding that will make our study more understandable. In the third section, general information such as the writing process and the position of these two novels, in which we will analyse the human-nature relation, among the other works of the authors will be provided. In the fourth and the last section, which is the essential section of our study, we will try to explicate the relationships between people and nature in both novels with examples. Our aim in this study is to present for consideration with examples that even they are from two different nations Giono's and Kemal's, who live in nature and have a great love of nature, works resemble to each other and that the people who live in nature are willingly or unwillingly in a multi-aspectual relationship with nature.
