But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?

For many years, Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him.

The year is 1992.

He engages the work of Nabokov, Kundera, Rushdie, and Vargas Llosa, among others, and he discusses his own books and writing process. We also learn how he lives, as he recounts his successful struggle to quit smoking, describes his relationship with his daughter, and reflects on the controversy he has attracted in recent years.

1901. Night draws in. With the stealth of a spy vessel, the royal ship Azizye approaches the famous vistas of Mingheria. 'An emerald build of pink stone.' The 29th state of the ailing Ottoman Empire. The ship carries Princess Pakize, the daughter of a deposed sultan, her doctor husband, and the Royal Chemist, Bonkowski Pasha. Each of them holds a separate mission. Not all of them will survive the weeks ahead. Because Mingheria is on the cusp of catastrophe. There are rumours of plague—rumours some in power will try to suppress. Plague is not the only killer.

The protagonist of Orhan Pamuk's fiendishly engaging novel is launched into a world of hypnotic texts and (literally) Byzantine conspiracies that whirl across the steppes and forlorn frontier towns of Turkey.

In the years that follow, the slave instructs his master in Western science and technology, from medicine to pyrotechnics.

يأخذنا الروائي التركي الكبير الحاصل على جائزة نوبل في الآداب، أورهان باموق في روايته "ذات الشعر الأحمر" إلى بلدة صغيرة على بعد ٣٠ ميلاً من إسطنبول، والمطّلع على أعمال هذا الكاتب يلاحظ ولعه الشديد بمدينة إسطنبول. يستخدم باموق في هذا العمل أسلوب استرجاع الماضي القريب من ثمانينات القرن العشرين، وما شكلته هذه الفترة المشتعلة بالأحداث السياسية من انقلابات وصراعات على الحكم.

تدور أحداث الرواية حول قصة حب مستحيلة تجمع بين "كمال" المنحدر من الطبقة الأرستقراطية لإسطنبول في سبعينيات القرن العشرين، و"فوسون" الفتاة الفقيرة التي تربطه بها صلة قرابة بعيدة. تتجاوز التفاصيل حدود الغرام التقليدي، لتكشف حيرة الإنسان بين ثقافة الشرق والغرب، دون معزل عن التغيرات الاجتماعية والسياسية التي أحاطت باسطنبول في هذا الوقت، وتركت أثرًا عميقًا حتى في قصص العشاق.

يستل الكاتب التركي أورهان باموق عنوان روايته "غرابة في عقلي" من مقطع للشاعر الإنجليزي (وليام ووردزوورث)، يقول فيه "كان ثمة غرابة في عقلي وشعورلا يعود إلى ذلك الزمان ولا إلى ذلك المكان"، لينطلق منه إلى روايته التي تتغلغل في أزقة إسطنبول وبيوتها وتفاصيلها، ملتقطاً كثيراً من الأحداث وتداعياتها على الناس العاديين البسطاء الذين يعيشون على هامشها وضحاياها في الوقت نفسه.

The Black Book is Orhan Pamuk's tour de force, a stunning tapestry of Middle Eastern and Islamic culture which confirmed his reputation as a writer of international stature.

Je mehr der Lehrling sich zu der Rothaarigen hingezogen fühlt, desto mehr entfremdet er sich von Meister Murat, der für ihn wie ein Vater ist.
