Orhan Pamuk weaves a portrait of Istanbul with his own childhood memories and family life in the city. He visits monuments, the shores of the Bosphorus and old Ottoman mansions, and reflects on the melancholy shared by its inhabitants, the hüzün, while describing how that urban landscape shaped his literary vocation.

For readers of memoirs and non-fiction, and for those who want to approach the history, culture and urban landscape of Istanbul through the eyes of a Nobel laureate.
