«El castillo blanco» is the historical novel by Orhan Pamuk, published by Debolsillo in hardback (184 pages, in Spanish).
In seventeenth-century Istanbul, a young Italian scientist is captured by pirates and sold as a slave to a Turkish scholar interested in Western science. The extraordinary physical resemblance between the two and their shared passion for knowledge weave a relationship that leads them to explore identity, the tension between tradition and modernity, and the place of the intellectual, in a city ravaged by plague.
