Set in Istanbul, Turkey. Reviewed on 2017/03: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSKWojeBX1f/
So this was a great surprise! I initially purchased this book expecting a #lost manuscript, medieval #magic and #ageofdiscovery kind of tale. And it is to some extent. In under 200 pages #pamuk #bey really aims to go deeper. This is really a psychological #riddle on who is the master and who is the slave? Who is the believer and who is the heretic? Can the master become the slave and vice versa? And who gets to decide that? Where do you draw the lines between all these distinctions? Ultimately Pamuk’s masterful and captivating writing skills make this book a must read. #thewhitecastle #orhanpamuk#nobelprizeliterature #istanbul#turkishliterature #venice #venezia#science @vintageanchorbooks #scholar#constantinople #italian #eastandwest#beyazkale
