Orhan Pamuk kommer fra Istanbul, og det er hans egne erindringer fra opvæksten i Tyrkiets største by, som danner grundlag for romanen "Istanbul - Erindringer og byen", som er en blanding af en erindringsroman og en slægtshistorie. Bogen er fortalt i både ord og fotografier, og i en særlig vekselvirkning portrætteres Istanbul, men også Pamuk selv, på en fin og enestående måde. Orhan Pamuk vandt i 2006 Nobelprisen i litteratur, og hans bøger er oversat til over 40 sprog. "Istanbul" indeholder historiske fakta, byvandringer og anekdoter, og bogen er en direkte vej ind i hjertet af Pamuks litterære univers.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Istanbul, through the mind of its most celebrated writer. 'A declaration of love.' Sunday Times 'Magnificent, elegiac, impressionistic.' Literary Review 'An irresistibly seductive book.' Jan Morris, Guardian In a surprising and original blend of personal memoir and cultural history, Turkey's most celebrated novelist, Orhan Pamuk, explores his home of more than fifty years. What begins as a portrait of the artist as a young man becomes a shimmering evocation, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world's greatest cities. Beginning in the family apartment building where he was born, and still lives, Pamuk uses his family secrets to show how they were typical of their time and place. He then guides us through Istanbul's monuments and lost paradises, dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets and waterways, and introduces us to the city's writers, artists and murderers. Like Joyce's Dublin and Borges' Buenos Aires, Pamuk's Istanbul is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving. 'This erudite book manages to be an addictive childhood memoir, a museum-in-prose of a city with West in its head but East in its soul, a study of the alchemy between place and self.' David Mitchell

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Life-filled and life-affirming history, steeped in romance and written with verve' GUARDIAN 'Richly entertaining and impeccably researched' Peter Frankopan Istanbul has always been a place where stories and histories collide and crackle, where the idea is as potent as the historical fact. From the Qu'ran to Shakespeare, this city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - resonates as an idea and a place, and overspills its boundaries - real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between the East and West, it has served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was known simply as The City, but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city, but a story. In this epic new biography, Hughes takes us on a dazzling historical journey through the many incarnations of one of the world's greatest cities. As the longest-lived political entity in Europe, over the last 6,000 years Istanbul has absorbed a mosaic of micro-cities and cultures all gathering around the core. At the latest count archaeologists have measured forty-two human habitation layers. Phoenicians, Genoese, Venetians, Jews, Vikings, Azeris all called a patch of this earth their home. Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, this captivating portrait of the momentous life of Istanbul is visceral, immediate and scholarly narrative history at its finest.

"Istanbul" er en personlig og flot skildring af den smukke tyrkiske by. Forfatteren Peter Rasmussen står bag rejsebogen "Istanbul", som bestemt ikke er som andre rejsebøger. Her i dette værk beskriver han byen fra en helt anden vinkel end den sædvanlige: Nemlig fra dækket på en færge mellem Europa og Asien, som på ingen tid kan fragte én fra land til land. Bogen beskriver byen udefra og indefra og fortæller om seværdigheder og livet, men også om den personlige rejse.

Like the Dublin of Joyce and Jan Morris' Venice , Orhan Pamuk's bestselling Istanbul: Memories of a City is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and 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 Güler, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Istanbul's characteristic photography collectors, and contains previously unpublished family photographs from the author's archives.
