Heute bekommen und wird gleich gelesen

Heute habe ich ein Paket von Thalia von der Post abgeholt, in dem noch ein Geschenk für meinen Mann war. Allerdings habe ich mir auch ein besonderes Buch mitbestellt, und da ich mit Iris Murdoch heute beim Heimfahren fertig geworden bin, kann ich Abends gleich das neue Buch beginnen.

Autobiographies of Orhan Pamuk
The Writer in His Novels

Turkish Novelist Orhan Pamuk is a prominent voice in Turkish literature, speaking to the country's history, culture und politics. In 2006, he became the first Turkish writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Autobiographies of Orhan Pamuk is the first book-lenght study of the Life and writings of Pamuk and provides historical and cultural context to help readers better understand and appreciate both the man and his work. It begins with a brief biography, outlines Pamuk's contributions to Turkish literature and history, and then examines how his art has evolved over the past thirty years, discussing some of the writers who provided inspiration. In addition to a thorough analysis of his seven published novels, including Snow and My Name is Red, an entire chapter is devotet to his first two novels, Cevdet Bey and Sons and The Silent House, which have yet to be translated into English. Though his books deal with specifically Turkish issues, like all great literature the themes they explore are universal.
This is a comprehensive examination of the Nobel laureate's work, free of jargon and of interest to anyone who enjoys good books.
