Book Summary: 

Set in Istanbul in the late 16th century, the story revolves around a group of Ottoman miniaturist painters working on a secret book commissioned by the Sultan. The Sultan wants this book illustrated in the Frankish (Western) style, which clashes with the traditional Islamic belief that art should not imitate God's creation too closely.

When one of the illustrators is murdered, the narrative becomes a murder mystery, but it is also a deep meditation on aesthetics, religious faith, and artistic individuality.

About the Author: 

Orhan Pamuk is one of Turkey’s most acclaimed novelists and the recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born in Istanbul in 1952, Pamuk studied architecture and journalism before dedicating himself to writing.

His works often explore:

  • Turkish identity

  • The tension between East and West

  • Memory, history, and nationalism
