Istanbul (Deluxe Edition): Memories and the City Hardcover - 2017

by Orhan Pamuk


From the publisher

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of My Name Is Red and Snow, a large-format, deluxe, collectible edition of his beloved memoir about life in Istanbul, with more than 200 added illustrations and a new introduction.

Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul and still lives in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy--or hzn--that all Istanbullus share: the sadness that comes of living amid the ruins of a lost empire. With cinematic fluidity, Pamuk moves from the lives of his glamorous, unhappy parents to the gorgeous, decrepit mansions overlooking the Bosphorus; from the dawning of his self-consciousness to the writers and painters--both Turkish and foreign--who would shape his consciousness of his city. Like Joyce's Dublin and Borges' Buenos Aires, Pamuk's Istanbul is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving.

Description:
NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2017. 1st thus. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. An evocative portrait of a great and storied city, an elegy for a bygone civilization, and a meditation on the "complicated intimacies" (Pamuk's phrase) of life itself. "Spins a masterful tale, moving from his fractured extended family, all living in a communal apartment building, out into the city and encompassing the entire Ottoman Empire. Pamuk sees the slow collapse of the once powerful empire hanging like a pall over the city and its citizens. Central to many Istanbul residents' character is the concept of huzun ('melancholy'). Istanbul's huzun, Pamuk writes, 'is a way of looking at life that is ultimately as life-affirming as it is negating'. A powerful, disturbing literary journey through the soul of a great city, told by one of its great writers". This is the Deluxe Edition with 439 photos and illustrations. Bright, clean copy.
