«Los turbantes de Venecia» is the historical novel by Nedim Gürsel, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
Kâmil Uzman, painter and art scholar, seeks in Venice the traces of Ottoman presence in Western culture. His days pass among museums, churches, and love for a librarian who seems to have stepped out of a Bellini painting; his nights belong to a murkier world in Mestre.
Part of the 13/20 collection from Alianza Editorial. Translation by Rafael Carpintero Ortega. Original title: Resimli Dünya.
For readers of historical fiction interested in the dialogue between cultures and in contemporary Turkish literature.
Nedim Gürsel is a Turkish writer. In the late 1960s, he published novellas and essays in Turkish magazines. After graduating from Galatasaray High School in 1970, he studied at the Sorbonne. In 1974, he graduated from the Sorbonne's Department of Modern French Literature. In 1979, he received his doctorate in comparative literature after completing his dissertation on Louis Aragon and Nazim Hikmet. He returned to Turkey, but the unrest there in 1980 persuaded him to go back to France.
