Chronicle To Books My Name Is Red

At once a fiendishly devious mystery, a beguiling love story, and a brilliant symposium on the power of art, My Name Is Red is a transporting tale set amid the splendor and religious intrigue of sixteenth-century Istanbul, from one of the most prominent contemporary Turkish writers.

The Sultan has commissioned a cadre of the most acclaimed artists in the land to create a great book celebrating the glories of his realm. Their task: to illuminate the work in the European style. But because figurative art can be deemed an affront to Islam, this commission is a dangerous proposition indeed. The ruling elite therefore mustn’t know the full scope or nature of the project, and panic erupts when one of the chosen miniaturists disappears. The only clue to the mystery–or crime? –lies in the half-finished illuminations themselves. Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, My Name is Red is a kaleidoscopic journey to the intersection of art, religion, love, sex and power.

Column Epithetical Books My Name Is Red

It's not often you find books that start with the speech of an already dead character. It's actually pretty damn rare to find dead bodies speaking at all, wouldn't you agree? Well, Pamuk apparently didn't get the memo. Because that is exactly how his wonderful work, "My Name is Red", starts. The body of "Elegant" Effendi is rotting in a well, somewhere in Istanbul. During life, he was a miniaturist, an artistry that is usually found in Ottoman books, and his talent was known as one of the best

This book is as much about art as it is a historical novel. First the novel. A tale of miniaturist painters in Istanbul during the late 1500s. The deceased masters daughter is in a religious and political limbo: her soldier husband has been missing for four years, but with no body and no witnesses to his death, she cant get a divorce and move on with her life. She wants to find a new husband and a father for her two young boys and get away from the amorous intentions of her husbands brother. And

On-a-high version:I am called Black, I longed for my dearest Shekure for twelve years;I, Shekure, not quite sure what was I doing in this story; I am called Butterfly, I was the one who drew the Death and Mia thought I was the murderer;I am called Stork, I was the one who drew the Tree and Butterfly always envy me as I was more talented without the help from our master;I am called Olive, I was the one who rendered the Satan and drew the exquisite horse;I am your beloved uncle, I was preparing a

(review in English below)Este livro é provavelmente uma obra-prima, mas não me cativou.Fiz um esforço para chegar à página 100 - acabei por ficar na 101, por ser o final dum capítulo - mas nem o facto de o tema principal ser a pintura, nem os capítulos curtos, conseguiram manter-me interessada. Aborreci-me a maior parte do tempo, com as vozes demasiado parecidas dos vários narradores, com os contos e as suas "morais", com tudo, enfim, e acho que assim não vale a pena.Vou ler qualquer coisa

My fickle heart longs for the West when I'm in the East and for the East when I'm in the West.My other parts insist I be a woman when I'm a man and a man when I'm a woman.How difficult it is being human, even worse is living a human's life.I only want to amuse myself frontside and backside, to be Eastern and Western both.This is Pamuk's enduring, never ending obsession. He's written fiction and non-fiction, journal articles and newspaper bites, and given endless interviews on this theme. He's

I could not help but think of the film "Daisies" (Sedmikrasky, dir. Vera Chytilova), that shameless classic of the Czech New Wave while reading Ohran Pamuks My Name is Red. That brilliant & psychedelic film of the 60s portrays two incessant, silly girls who seem to want to emphasize their existence by playing pranks on other people and being undeniably obnoxious. They are terrified at the idea of being forgottenof not existing. Similarly, in Pamuks epic novel of conspiring miniaturists, of

I tried very hard to really like this book. But, I suppose it's impossible to succeed in everything.My Name Is Red is both historical fiction and a murder mystery. It takes place in 1591 (according to the timeline at the end of the book). The over-arching motion of the plot centers around the death of a master miniturist in the Sultan's court. The death is revealed in the first chapter, though the reasons surrounding the his death are much slower in being revealed. What is known, almost at the
