About the Book

Una fascinante exploración de la identidad, del fatídico pulso entre tradición y modernidad, y del destino del intelectual. Esta deslumbrante novela, con la que el Premio Nobel de Literatura obtuvo un gran reconocimiento internacional, ofrece una sinuosa reflexión sobre la identidad y las relaciones entre oriente y occidente.

Un joven científico italiano es capturado por piratas cuando viaja de Venecia a Nápoles. Poco después es vendido como esclavo a un sabio turco deseoso de conocer los avances científicos de Occidente. Ambientada en la Turquía del siglo XVII, El castillo blanco cuenta la extraordinaria historia de estos dos hombres, que curiosamente guardan un gran parecido físico. Una fascinante exploración de la identidad, del fatídico pulso entre tradición y modernidad, y del destino del intelectual a través de la relación que surge entre ambos personajes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nobel Prize Winner 2006

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.

Ciudad y recuerdos (Literatura Random House, 2006) y La maleta de mi padre (Literatura Random House, 2007) y de la colección de ensayos Otros colores (Literatura Random House, 2008). Su éxito mundial se desencadenó a partir de los elogios que John Updike dedicó a la novela El castillo blanco. Desde entonces ha obtenido numerosos reconocimientos internacionales: el premio al Mejor Libro Extranjero en Francia, el Grinzane Cavour en Italia y el premio internacional IMPAC. Con la publicación de Nieve, novela por la que en 2006 fue galardonado con el Priz Médicis Étranger, Orhan Pamuk pasó a ser objetivo predilecto de los ataques de la prensa nacionalista truca. Con la obtención del Nobel de Literatura en 2006 su proyección internacional se consolidó definitivamente, y sus libros han sido traducidos a más de cuarenta idiomas.
