Description
In the late 1590s, a secret book was commissioned by the Sultan, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day in the European style. This was a bold move, especially at a time of violent fundamentalism, when the very existence of such art could be seen as a threat. The artists were sworn to secrecy, but when one of them was murdered, the Master had to seek outside help to uncover the truth. The investigation that followed was a complex web of clues, half-finished pictures, and conflicting motives. As the Sultan demanded an answer within three days, the truth began to unravel, revealing a tale of suspense and deception. Orhan Pamuk's novel is a masterful exploration of love, art, and the darker aspects of human nature. With its intricate plot and vivid descriptions of 17th-century Ottoman art, "My Name is Red" is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
