In this fascinating set of essays, based on the talks he delivered at Harvard University as part of the distinguished Norton Lecture series, Pamuk presents a comprehensive and provocative theory of the novel and the experience of reading. Drawing on Friedrich Schiller’s famous distinction between “naïve” writers—those who write spontaneously—and “sentimental” writers—those who are reflective and aware—Pamuk reveals two unique ways of processing and composing the written word.

In Istanbul, in the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day – in the European manner. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?

Orhan Pamuks Istanbul ist erfüllt von einer zauberhaften Melancholie des Niedergangs. Hier ist er aufgewachsen im Kreise seiner Großfamilie...

The protagonist of Orhan Pamuk's fiendishly engaging novel is launched into a world of hypnotic texts and (literally) Byzantine conspiracies that whirl across the steppes and forlorn frontier towns of Turkey. And with The New Life, Pamuk himself vaults from the forefront of his country's writers into the arena of world literature.

In an old mansion in Cennethisar, a former fishing village near Istanbul, a widow, Fatma, awaits the annual summer visit of her grandchildren. She has lived in the village for decades, ever since her husband, an idealistic young doctor, ran afoul of the sultan's grand vizier and arrived to serve the poor fishermen. Now mostly bedridden, she is attended by her constant servant Recep, a dwarf - and the doctor's illegitimate son.

يستل الكاتب التركي أورهان باموق عنوان روايته "غرابة في عقلي" من مقطع للشاعر الإنجليزي (وليام ووردزوورث)، يقول فيه "كان ثمة غرابة في عقلي وشعورلا يعود إلى ذلك الزمان ولا إلى ذلك المكان"، لينطلق منه إلى روايته التي تتغلغل في أزقة إسطنبول وبيوتها وتفاصيلها، ملتقطاً كثيراً من الأحداث وتداعياتها على الناس العاديين البسطاء الذين يعيشون على هامشها وضحاياها في الوقت نفسه.

يأخذنا الروائي التركي الكبير الحاصل على جائزة نوبل في الآداب، أورهان باموق في روايته "ذات الشعر الأحمر" إلى بلدة صغيرة على بعد ٣٠ ميلاً من إسطنبول، والمطّلع على أعمال هذا الكاتب يلاحظ ولعه الشديد بمدينة إسطنبول. يستخدم باموق في هذا العمل أسلوب استرجاع الماضي القريب من ثمانينات القرن العشرين، وما شكلته هذه الفترة المشتعلة بالأحداث السياسية من انقلابات وصراعات على الحكم.

تدور أحداث الرواية حول قصة حب مستحيلة تجمع بين "كمال" المنحدر من الطبقة الأرستقراطية لإسطنبول في سبعينيات القرن العشرين، و"فوسون" الفتاة الفقيرة التي تربطه بها صلة قرابة بعيدة. تتجاوز التفاصيل حدود الغرام التقليدي، لتكشف حيرة الإنسان بين ثقافة الشرق والغرب، دون معزل عن التغيرات الاجتماعية والسياسية التي أحاطت باسطنبول في هذا الوقت، وتركت أثرًا عميقًا حتى في قصص العشاق.

The Black Book is Orhan Pamuk's tour de force, a stunning tapestry of Middle Eastern and Islamic culture which confirmed his reputation as a writer of international stature. Richly atmospheric and Rabelaisian in scope, it is a labyrinthine novel suffused with the sights, sounds and scents of Istanbul, an unforgettable evocation of the city where East meets West, and a boldly unconventional mystery that plumbs the elusive nature of identity, fiction, interpretation and reality.

Other Colours is a collection of immediate relevance and timeless value, ranging from lyrical autobiography to criticism of literature and culture, from humour to political analysis, from delicate evocations of his friendship with his daughter Ruya to provocative discussions of Eastern and Western art. It also covers Pamuk's recent, high profile, court case.
