It is 1975, a perfect spring in Istanbul. Kemal, scion of one of the city''s wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Fusun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation. Thus begins an obsessive but tragic love affair that will transform itself into a compulsive collection of objects--a museum of one man''s broken heart--that chronicle Kemal''s lovelorn progress and his afflicted heart''s reactions.

A Strangeness In My Mind is a novel Orhan Pamuk has worked on for six years. It is the story of boza seller Mevlut, the woman to whom he wrote three years' worth of love letters, and their life in Istanbul. In the four decades between 1969 and 2012, Mevlut works a number of different jobs on the streets of Istanbul, from selling yoghurt and cooked rice, to guarding a car park. He observes many different kinds of people thronging the streets, he watches most of the city get demolished and re-built, and he sees migrants from Anatolia making a fortune; at the same time, he witnesses all of the transformative moments, political clashes, and military coups that shape the country. He always wonders what it is that separates him from everyone else - the source of that strangeness in his mind. But he never stops selling boza during winter evenings and trying to understand who his beloved really is. What matters more in love: what we wish for, or what our fate has in store? Do our choices dictate whether we will be happy or not, or are these things determined by forces beyond our control? A Strangeness In My Mind tries to answer these questions while portraying the tensions between urban life and family life, and the fury and helplessness of women inside their homes.

On the outskirts of a town thirty miles from Istanbul, a master well digger and his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating meter by meter, the two will develop a filial bond neither has known before -not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for politically subversive activities. The pair will come to depend on each other and exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world.But in the nearby town, where they buy provisions and take their evening break, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The Red-Haired Woman, an alluring member of a travelling theatre company, catches his eye and seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. The young man''s wildest dream will be realized, but, when in his distraction a horrible accident befalls the well digger, the boy will flee, returning to Istanbul. Only years later will he discover whether he was in fact responsible for his master''s death and who the redheaded enchantress was.

"Many years have now gone by, and jealousy compels me to keep her name a secret, even from my readers. But I must provide a full and truthful account of what happened."It is mid-1980s Istanbul and Master Mahmut and his apprentice use ancient methods to dig wells - they are desperate to find water in a barren land. This is the tale of their struggle, but it is also a deeper investigation - through mesmerising stories and images - into Pamuk's prevailing themes: fathers and sons, the state and individual freedom, reading and seeing. It is also a richly literary work: The Red-Haired Woman borrows from the tradition of the French conte philosophique and asks probing questions of ethics and of the role of art in our lives. It is both a short, realist text investigating a murder which took place thirty years ago near Istanbul - and a fictional inquiry into the literary foundations of civilizations, comparing t...

Jo volia ser escriptor, però després dels fets que em disposo a descriure, vaig estudiar enginyeria geològica i vaig començar a treballar de contractista. De tota manera, el lector no hauria de pensar, en base al meu relat, ara que tot ha passat, que ho he deixat enrere. Com més ho recordo, més ficat hi estic. I potser tu també t'hi ficaras, atret per l'enigma dels pares i els fills.

LA DONNA DAI CAPELLI ROSSI

ORHAN PAMUK: BALKON

Cem era un liceale nella Istanbul di meta anni Ottanta come tanti altri quando suo padre farmacista viene arrestato dal governo e torturato dalla polizia a causa delle sue frequentazioni politiche. Non fara mai piu ritorno a casa. Per aiutare la madre Cem andra a lavorare in una libreria: e qui, tra i romanzi e gli scrittori che vengono a trovare il padrone della libreria, che Cem iniziera a sognare di diventare uno scrittore. Rimarra sempre con questo desiderio, con questa fame di storie, anche se la vita ha in serbo altro per lui: quando la libreria chiude, Cem diventa l'apprendista di mastro Mahmut, un costruttore di pozzi. Tra maestro e allievo si stabilisce un legame profondo, e il ragazzo sente di aver trovato in Mahmut quel padre che da lungo tempo ha perso. Mahmut e la sua ditta hanno un nuovo incarico: scavare un pozzo in un paese nei dintorni di Istanbul. Ed e li che Cem incontrera l'attrice dai capelli rossi. Iniziera a spiarla mentre e in scena, indifferente alla tragedia a cui sta assistendo, concentrato solo su di lei, e poi nella casa dove vive col marito, per strada. Fino a quando l'ossessione erotica per questa donna piu grande di lui si trasformera in un'unica, folle, indimenticabile notte di sesso. Cem non potrebbe essere piu felice: non sa che la sua vita cambiera per sempre e che il destino ha gia iniziato a tessere la sua complicata, crudelissima, imprevedibile trama. Con la storia di Cem, personale e universale allo stesso tempo, Orhan Pamuk interroga i fondamenti letterari della civilta occidentale e orientale, intrecciando l'Edipo Re di Sofocle con il Rostam e Sohrab di Ferdowsi per scrivere il suo romanzo piu sorprendente e fulminante.

The Ottoman Sultan has commissioned the best artists in the land to create a book celebrating the glories of his realm: but he wants them to illuminate it in the European style. Because figurative art is deemed by many to be an affront to Islam, the project must be kept secret. Panic and scandal erupt when one of the chosen miniaturists disappears, along with a crucial page of the manuscript. The surviving artists - bitter rivals variously motivated by pride, greed, jealousy, faith and love - are all under suspicion of murder, and the only clue to the mystery lies in the half-finished illustrations themselves. My Name is Red reveals the clash between two views of artistic meaning and the chasm between two world civilizations. In this special edition the author includes a chronology of Islamic and Western art history to provide valuable context for his story, and has contributed a fascinating introduction throwing light on his methods, his aims and his inspiration
