About this product

Product Information

From a Turkish writer who has been compared with Borges, Nabokov, and DeLillo comes a dazzling novel that is at once a captivating work of historical fiction and a sinuous treatise on the enigma of identity and the relations between East and West. In the 17th century, a young Italian scholar sailing from Venice to Naples is taken prisoner and delivered to Constantinople. There he falls into the custody of a scholar known as Hoja--master--a man who is his exact double. In the years that follow, the slave instructs his master in Western science and technology, from medicine to pyrotechnics. But Hoja wants to know more: why he and his captive are the persons they are and whether, given knowledge of each other's most intimate secrets, they could actually exchange identities. Set in a world of magnificent scholarship and terrifying savagery, The White Castle is a colorful and intricately patterned triumph of the imagination. Translated from the Turkish by Victoria Holbrook.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • if you're a masochist.....

    I must say, that if Pamuk is a Nobel Prize worthy writer, then I should start writing, because they are giving them away. The story is hard to follow, and the characters are limited in their design. You'll hear a lot about ideas that are never expressed and ambiguous objects and events that will beg the question..."what was that?" All in all, next time I want to be tortured (like the narrator) I'll take the simple route and just do my taxes while watching "The View."

  • good reading for ones who likes to think on their own.

    excellent writing, terrific plot,maybe,not a lot of entertainment value that would satisfy a simpleton like the reviewer below.
