Description
The White Castle is a dazzling work of historical and philosophical fiction set in 17th-century Constantinople. A young Italian scholar finds himself taken prisoner and becomes the slave and tutor to his Turkish double, who shares an uncanny resemblance with him.
This intricate tale weaves together scholarship, savagery, and imagination, much like the colorful patterns of a Turkish prayer rug. Orhan Pamuk's masterful storytelling brings to life a world of contrasts, where East meets West and understanding is hard-won.
