Istanbul: Memories of a City

Orhan Pamuk’™s extraordinarily beautiful ‘œIstanbul” won the 2006 Nobel Prize for literature- once you have picked up and read this brilliant work, you will be in no doubt as to why it did.Arguably Turkey`s greatest living novelist, here he guides us through the monuments and lost paradises, dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets and waterways of Istanbul – the city of his birth and the home of his imagination.Written at a time of personal upheaval for Pamuk, and the nostalgic beauty of the book is often bittersweet as the lines between Islam and secular society rub awkwardly.
