About This Item

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. Record # 383490
