books by Orhan Pamuk     books:       La Maison du silence1 review Orhan Pamuk, Munewer Andac Gallimard, 1988 One of Pamuk's early - and most beautiful - works Unlike Pamuk's later works, which center on Turkish cultures struggles with the west and with modernity, this early novel is less ambitious, recreating the brutality and quiet sadness of Turkey during running battles between left and right during the seventies and early eighties. It is a remarkably touching work, using a variety of narrative perspectives to create a real sense of intimacy ...             Other Colors6 reviews Knopf, 2007 A Resurrection of the Ordinary "Pamuk has two enduring loves: books and Istanbul. Often they converge as his journeys through his hometown come to resemble excursions through memory itself." Pico Iyer I had the extraordinary good fortune to see and hear Orhan Pamuk speak at Dartmouth College about his life, his writing, his family and his books, on the first anniversary of his Noble Prize for Literature. Orhan Pamuk ...             The Black Book59 reviews Orhan Pamuk Faber & Faber, Incorporated, 1995 Labyrinthian inquiry into the Turkish identity This is a fascinating novel. To be sure, if you have read other books by Pamuk, you will recognize the themes: the void that Attaturk's reforms could not fill (after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire); the continuing crisis of the Turkish identity that plays out in politics; and the extraordinary richness, humor and melancholy of the current culture. These are wonderfully sketched out in ...             Snow133 reviews Orhan Pamuk Knopf, 2004 I love this book Although it was kind of hard to get into at first, it was well worth it. Orhan Pamuk really takes on modern day issues in this book, and it helps you understand that part of the world a little better.             My Name Is Red122 reviews Orhan Pamuk Knopf, 2001 Both form and function explore a deeper conversation about the meaning of art Though at first glance My Name is Red is a murder mystery and love story, it's true genius is not found so much in the plot twists and turns but rather in the unusually poetic narrative strategy and voice, and in the brilliant discussion on the purpose and meaning of art. I didn't find any of the characters in this novel to be particularly interesting or relatable, and I had little interest in ...             Nieve1 review Orhan Pamuk Alfaguara, 2006 Cin ema Paradiso Wonderful movie. It is one of the best movie. I am a movies collector specially foreign or international. Bruny             The New Life36 reviews Orhan Pamuk Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997 A Novelist's Novel The first sentence of Pamuk's, The New Life is: "I read a book one day and my whole life was changed." As the main character reads, he is infused with light, literally knocked off the path of his life. From that point on, dear Reader, abandon your preconceptions of what you think a novel should be, for The New Life won't conform to them. The New Life can best be described as a prolonged, ...             Benim adim kirmizi (Cagdas Turkce edebiyat)3 reviews Orhan Pamuk Iletisim, 1998 A disappeared history of Islamic painters This an incredible history of the painters when the drawing were assumed to be a big sin in Islamic world of Istanbul. These paintings and painters disappeared years and years ago but the writer insist on to take the readers to their times and places under a cover of a criminal story. A different taste of forgetten and unknown painters and their two dimensional lifes.             Istanbul44 reviews Vintage, 2006 After visiting Istambul I have started to enyoy this masterpiece, since I visited Istambul. Suddenly Pamuk's memories has merged with mine.             Alex Webb: Istanbul9 reviews Orhan Pamuk Aperture, 2007 One of the Great Street Photography Books I visited Istanbul in 1988, almost 20 years ago. It was a visit that left me in awe of the uniqueness, beauty and complexity of this historic and important city. It is a great pleasure to have revisited Istanbul, this time not actually, but through exceptional photographs of Alex Webb. The photographs are not only evocative of the real life of the streets, but are depictions of people going ...             The Black Book Vol.2of2 (In Korean, NOT in English) Orhan Pamuk Mineumsa, 2007 Korean edition of "The Black Book" by a Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk, the winner of the 2006 Nobel Literature Prize.

Había leído algo de sus memorias de Estanbul en una revista literaria y me había encantado. De modo que compré La Vida Nueva, pero no pude avanzar de la tercera página. Personalmente considero este tipo de literatura bastante superado.

Nobel Prize Literature Laureate (2006), Orhan Pamuk, in his first work translated into English from the Turkish, gives us in The White Castle an obsessive tale of a bizarre relationship. He begins with an old framing device, that of finding a manuscript which he then publishes.
