Like the Dublin of Joyce & Jan Morris` Venice, Orhan Pamuk`s bestselling Istanbul: Memories of a City is a triumphant encounter of place & sensibility, beautifully written & immensely moving. Since the publication of Istanbul, Pamuk has continued to add to his collection of photographs of Istanbul. Now, he has selected a range of photographs for Illustrated Istanbul, linking each new image to his memoir. This lavish selection of 450 photographs features contributions from Ara Guler, Henri Cartier-Bresson & Istanbul`s characteristic photography collectors, & contains previously unpublished family photographs from the author`s archives. ...

Orhan Pamuk’s extraordinarily beautiful “ Istanbul” won the 2006 Nobel Prize for literature- once you have picked up & read this brilliant work, you will be in no doubt as to why it did. Arguably Turkey`s greatest living novelist, here he guides us through the monuments & lost paradises, dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets & waterways of Istanbul
- the city of his birth & the home of his imagination. Written at a time of personal upheaval for Pamuk, & the nostalgic beauty of the book is often bittersweet as the lines between Islam & secular society rub awkwardly.
