Orhan Pamuk

    7 juni 1952

    Orhan Pamuk wordt gevierd als een verteller van Istanbul, een stad die zijn vroege schrijven vormde en zijn latere autobiografische essays inspireerde. Zijn werk duikt vaak in complexe thema's als identiteit, de kruising van westerse en oosterse culturen, en culturele botsingen, allemaal verweven door meeslepende verhalen. Pamuks stijl valt op door zijn experimentele aard, diepe karakterpsychologie en meesterlijke weergave van Turkije's verleden en heden. Zijn literaire betekenis ligt in zijn vermogen om persoonlijke ervaringen te verbinden met universele menselijke waarheden, en lezers een uniek perspectief te bieden op de complexiteit van het moderne leven.

      Epicka opowieść o Stambule i jego mieszkańcach, ich miłościach, troskach i marzeniach. Uczta dla miłośników dobrej literatury. Mevlut Karataş, uliczny handlarz, wędruje po zaniedbanych ulicach Stambułu, a jego głośne zawołanie „Buzaaaa!” jest rzadkością. Dzień spędza na dorywczych pracach, a nocą niesie dzbany tradycyjnego tureckiego napoju. Buza, dziedzictwo przodków, przypomina o dawnych czasach, a Mevlut nie wyobraża sobie życia bez niej i Stambułu, który zna jak własną kieszeń. Długie wędrówki sprawiają mu radość, ale nie zapewniają bytu rodzinie, którą kocha ponad wszystko. Ma dwie córeczki i żonę Rayihę, którą poślubił przez pomyłkę. Historia rodziny przybyłej z biednej wsi do Stambułu jest jednocześnie kroniką życia w mieście nad Bosforem w latach 1969–2012. Obserwujemy Stambuł na przestrzeni kilku dziesięcioleci, świadków przemian, puczy, zamachów, korupcji, obyczajowych zmian oraz marzeń mieszkańców. Widzimy, jak z dawnych gecekondu wyrastają wieżowce, a stare kamienice ustępują miejsca szerokim alejom. Miasto umiera i odradza się, a jego mieszkańcy wypełniają je swoimi opowieściami o miłościach, rodzinach, przyjaźni, nienawiści i marzeniach o lepszym życiu.

    • „Vielleicht bin ich zugleich Maler und Schriftsteller.“ – Einblicke in die Gedanken des Nobelpreisträgers Orhan Pamuk Worte und Bilder von Orhan Pamuk. Ein einzigartiges Tagebuch vom Nobelpreisträger, der einst davon träumte, ein Maler zu werden. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren schreibt und zeichnet er täglich in seine Notizbücher: ob es Landschaften mit fernen Bergen oder die Ereignisse des Tages sind, ob er seine Gedanken zur heiklen politischen Lage in der Türkei notiert oder sich mit den bunten Figuren seiner Romane unterhält. Aus Venedig und Bombay, auf einem Boot auf dem Bosporus oder auf dem Hudson River. Es entsteht so ein Werk aus poetischen sowie persönlichen Texten und Bildern, wie man es bislang noch nicht gesehen hat.

    • A new novel by a Nobel Prize-winning author blends detective elements with a historical epic, set against the backdrop of a fictional island in the Ottoman Empire during April 1900. On Mingeria, located in the eastern Mediterranean, tensions run high between the Muslim and Orthodox Greek populations. The arrival of a plague—possibly brought by returning Muslim pilgrims or merchant ships—ignites chaos. To combat the outbreak, Sultan Abdul Hamid II dispatches his top quarantine expert, an Orthodox Christian. However, resistance from some Muslims, including followers of a prominent religious leader, undermines the quarantine efforts, leading to the expert's murder. As the plague spreads, the sultan sends a second doctor, this time a Muslim, and enforces strict measures. Yet, local governance failures and public defiance result in the quarantine's collapse, causing the death toll to rise. With the threat of the plague reaching Istanbul, the sultan succumbs to international pressure, allowing a blockade of the island. Left to fend for themselves, the people of Mingeria must confront the epidemic. This gripping tale, rich in historical detail and suspense, resonates with contemporary themes despite its setting over a century ago.

      The streetscapes of Istanbul as photographed by Nobel prize-winning novelist Orhan Pamuk in an exquisitely printed clothbound edition The dominant color in Orhan Pamuk's new book of photographs is orange. When the Nobel-Prize-winning novelist is finished with the day's writing, he takes his camera and wanders through Istanbul's various neighborhoods, visiting the backstreets of his town, areas without tourists, spaces that seem neglected and forgotten, spaces with a particular light. This is the orange light of Istanbul's windows and streetlamps that Pamuk knows so well from his childhood--from the Istanbul of 50 years ago, as he mentions in his introduction. But Pamuk also observes that the homely, cosy orange light is slowly being replaced by a new, bright and icy white light from new lightbulbs. His photographs from the backstreets of Istanbul record and preserve the cosy effect of this old, disappearing orange light, as well as the recognition of this new white vision. Whether reflected in well-trodden snow, concentrated as a glaring ball atop a lamppost or subtly present as a diffuse haze, orange literally and aesthetically gives shape to Pamuk's pictures, which reveal to us the unseen corners of his home city.

      Действие почти всех романов Орхана Памука происходит в Стамбуле, городе загадочном и прекрасном, пережившим высочайший расцвет и печальные сумерки упадка. Подобная двойственность часто находит свое отражение в характерах и судьбах героев, неспособных избавиться от прошлого, которое продолжает оказывать решающее влияние на их мысли и поступки. Таковы герои второго романа Памука «Дом тишины», одного из самых трогательных и печальных произведений автора, по мастерству и эмоциональной силе напоминающего «Сто лет одиночества» Маркеса и «Дети Полуночи» Рушди. Перед читателем неспешно разворачивается история одной стамбульской семьи, рассказанная от лица различных ее представителей, каждый из которых заключен в свой собственный дом тишины, наполненный невысказанными мечтами и тревожными размышлениями о прошлом. Переводчик: Аполлинария Аврутина

    • On the outskirts of a town thirty miles from Istanbul, a master well-digger and his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating metre by metre, the two will develop a father-son bond that neither has known before. But in the nearby town, where they spend their evenings, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The Red-Haired Woman, an alluring member of a travelling theatre group, catches his eye, and she seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. But in his distraction a horrible accident occurs, and he will spend his life unaware of the outcome, or who the Red-Haired Woman was, until many years later.

Eseje vzdávají hold otcům zakladatelům, jednotlivým donátorům a institucím, umělcům a sběratelům, kteří galerijním sbírkám poskytli ničím nepodmíněný dar či dočasnou výpůjčku, provedli směnu nebo galerijním sbírkám – od starých mistrů přes grafiku a kresbu, umění Asie a Afriky až po umění 19. století a moderní a současné umění včetně architektury – a návštěvníkům prospěli jakýmkoli jiným způsobem. Kniha zahrnuje také texty věnované historii sběratelství a formativní roli štědrosti a velkorysosti v procesu vzniku sbírkových institucí. Komplexní obrázek dokreslují výňatky z filozofických, literárních a básnických děl, které problematiku velkorysosti zasazují do širších ideových souvislostí.

      Ce se intimpla cu noi, si in noi, cind citim un roman? Cum se naste acel „efect de lectura a romanului”, atit de diferit de ceea ce simti cind privesti un tablou sau citesti o poezie? In aceasta colectie de eseuri despre literatura si despre el insusi, Orhan Pamuk ne arata cum se alcatuiesc cele doua lumi – a scrisului si a cititului – si cum ajung ele sa se uneasca. „La sfirsitul lecturii, aflam mai multe despre Pamuk insusi decit despre cum scrie Pamuk. Aflam ca e genial, ca nu inceteaza sa se priveasca mereu de aproape, ca nu-l intereseaza o teorie coerenta a romanului, ci o stare a scrisului si a cititului.” (Financial Times) „Oricine se crede romancier ar trebui sa citeasca eseurile lui Pamuk – pentru ca trebuie sa invatam de la aceia care chiar se pricep.” (The Telegraph)

Ausgehend von seinem großen Liebesroman gleichen Titels, in dem Gegenstände aus der Alltagskultur der Türkei eine prominente Rolle spielen, wird Pamuks Sammlung nun dauerhaft in der Istanbuler Altstadt ausgestellt. Seine einzigartigen Objekte beschreibt Pamuk in diesem Buch: Durch alte Postkarten und Filmplakate, Hunderte von hinreißenden Fotografien und skurrile Gegenstände lässt der Literaturnobelpreisträger 2006 das geliebte Istanbul seiner Jugend aufleben, das in der brummenden Metropole von heute aufgegangen ist. Alle, die in die aufregende Stadt am Bosporus reisen, sollten dieses Vademecum dabeihaben: Schöner und hingebungsvoller kann eine Stadt nicht gezeigt werden.

      Orhan Pamuk bu yeni kitabında, çocukluğundan başlayarak hayatından, yaşadıklarından bütün içtenliğiyle söz ediyor. Yazarın babasının ölümü, siyasi dertleri, futbol oynarken ya da romanlarını yazarken hissettikleri, tıpkı annesinin sigara böreği yapışı, yaz gecesi bir sivrisineğin hareketleri ve Boğaz gemileri hakkındaki gözlemleri gibi büyük bir manzaranın parçası olarak dikkatle işleniyor. Pamuk İstanbul’dan, Adalar’dan, New York’tan, Venedik ya da Kalküta’dan söz ederken yaptığı gibi, kendi suçluluk duygularından, rüyalarından, eski berberlerden ya da çocukluğunda sokaklarda atıştırdığı şeylerden de bütün dikkatiyle hikâyeler çıkarıyor. Konu ister Binbir Gece Masalları, ister Dostoyevski’nin romanları, ister eski ressamlar, ister Selimiye Camii olsun, Pamuk gözlemlerini, duygularını sıralarken akılda sevdiğimiz bir hikâyecinin tanıdık ve unutulmaz sesi kalıyor. Tıraş olmaktan asansöre binmeye, dünyayı çocuk gibi seyretmekten deprem endişelerimize, trafik ve dinden eski yangınlar ve yıkımlara uzanan bu kitap, Orhan Pamuk’un gözünden bakıldığında dünyanın ne kadar ilginç ve yeni olabileceğini bir kere daha kanıtlıyor.

      Orhan Pamuk ist ein Augenmensch. Die Bilder eines Bellini faszinieren ihn ebenso wie persische Miniaturen. In dieser Sammlung von Essays staunt der Nobelpreisträger über die alltäglichen Wunder in New York, huldigt seinen Lieblingsschriftstellern und schreibt Betrachtungen zu Politik und Zeitgeschichte. Vielleicht am schönsten sind die Miniaturen, die Beobachtungen aus dem Alltagsleben in Istanbul schildern – Begegnungen mit dem Vater, der immer mit einer Tafel Schokolade zu Besuch kommt, der Tod einer Möwe oder die kindliche Melancholie der kleinen Tochter Rüya. Eine Fundgrube, ein ganzer Kosmos, witzig, anregend, verspielt.

      Set in Istanbul between 1975 and today, this is the story of Kemal, and of his obsessive love for a poor and distant relation, the beautiful Fusun. The novel depicts a panoramic view of life in Istanbul. Pamuk beautifully captures the identity crisis experienced by Istanbul's upper classes caught between traditional and westernised ways of being.

      "Ölümünden iki yıl önce babam kendi yazıları, el yazmaları ve defterleriyle dolu küçük bir bavul verdi bana." Orhan Pamuk 2006 yılı Aralık ayında, Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü'nü alırken "Babamın Bavulu" adlı bir konuşma yaptı. Pamuk'un otuz iki yıllık yazarlık çabasının ruhunu içtenlikle yansıtan bu duygulu konuşma, bütün dünyada derin yankılar uyandırdı. Yazmak ve yaşamak konusunda temel bir metin niteliğindeki "Babamın Bavulu"nu Pamuk'un aynı konuları ve dertleri başka açılardan ele aldığı başka iki ödül kabul konuşmasıyla birlikte yayımlıyoruz. Pamuk'un Amerika'da çıkan World Literature (Dünya Edebiyatı) dergisince verilen Puterbaugh Ödülü'nü alırken 2006 Nisan'ında yaptığı konuşma "İma Edilen Yazar", yazarlığın psikolojisi ve yazar olma ihtiyacı ve serüveniyle ilgili. Pamuk'un Alman Kitapçılar Birliği'nce verilen Barış Ödülü'nü 2005 Ekim'inde alırken yaptığı "Kars'ta ve Frankfurt'ta" adlı konuşması ise, roman yazarının kendisini başkalarının yerine koyma gücünü ve bu çok insani yeteneğin siyasi sonuçlarını araştırıyor. Yazarının bir bütün olarak gördüğü bu üç konuşmadan oluşan Babamın Bavulu'nun artık bütün dünyada çok iyi tanınan ve çok okunan bu büyük yazarımızın küçük bir başyapıtı olduğunu düşünüyoruz... Yazarlık nedir, niye yazar olunur, hayat ve yazmak, yazarlık sabrı ve roman sanatının sırları üzerine mücevher değerinde kişisel bir kitap.

      Čitaoci na srpskom jeziku imaju priliku da budu među prvima koji svedoče procesu stizanja do Nobelove nagrade turskog laureata. Dževdet-beg i njegovi sinovi je prvi roman Orhana Pamuka, koji je prvobitno nastao pod imenom Tama i svetlost, a objavljen je 1982. godine. Ovaj roman, nagrađen i pre objavljivanja, oslikava uticaj klasične evropske literature, poput Dostojevskog i Tolstoja. Pripada prvoj od tri faze Pamukovog pisanja: realizmu, modernizmu i postmodernizmu. Autor ga upoređuje sa Budenbrokovima Tomasa Mana, sličnim biografskim okolnostima i rezultatima. Roman predstavlja čvrstu sagas o tri generacije imućne istanbulske porodice, smeštene u vremenskom okviru od 1908. do 1971. godine, prikazujući promene turskog društva koje prihvata zapadne vrednosti, suočavajući se s krizama i dilemama. Ova porodična saga, napisana naturalistički, nudi čvrst zaplet, impresivne likove i preciznu društvenu pozadinu, pružajući široku sliku dvadesetog veka moderne Turske. Pamuk se seća trenutka kada je svom ocu predao rukopis, očekujući njegovo mišljenje, koje je bilo od velike važnosti za njega. Njegov otac je, nakon što je pročitao roman, izrazio svoje poverenje u sina, predviđajući mu buduće uspehe.

      In the three decades that Nobel prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk has devoted himself to writing fiction, he has also produced scores of witty, moving, and provocative essays and articles. He engages the work of Nabokov, Kundera, Rushdie, and Vargas Llosa, among others, and he discusses his own books and writing process. We also learn how he lives, as he recounts his successful struggle to quit smoking, describes his relationship with his daughter, and reflects on the controversy he has attracted in recent years. Here is a thoughtful compilation of a brilliant novelist's best nonfiction, offering different perspectives on his lifelong obsessions with loneliness, contentment, and the books and cities that have shaped his experience.

      „Minden élet, akár a hópehely: távolról egyformának tűnik, de rejtélyes erők egyszerivé és megismételhetetlenné formálják” – vallja Orhan Pamuk legújabb művében. Kát, a költő, tíz év frankfurti távollét után hazatér Isztambulba édesanyja temetésére. A liberális lap felkérésére oknyomozó riportot ír a távoli Karsz városában zajló különös eseményekről, miközben saját gyermekkori vágyai is felerősödnek, amikor megtudja, hogy elvált asszonyként ott él a gyönyörű Ipek. Ka felkeresi a titokzatos öngyilkossági hullám áldozataként elhunyt fiatal lányok családtagjait és barátait, a helyi rendőrséget, valamint a Határvárosi Hírlap szerkesztőjét, miközben a város valódi arca lassan feltárul előtte. Vallási és politikai viták mérgezik az emberek életét, a fennálló államhatalom és a növekvő iszlám párt befolyása alatt vallási fanatikusok és reformerek ütköznek. Ka éppen a Nemzeti Színházban szaval, amikor fegyveres zavargás tör ki, és a nézőtéren iszlám középiskolások vesztik életüket. A tragédia sorozatos letartóztatásokat, üldöztetéseket és gyilkosságokat indít el, miközben sokan a kurd nacionalistákat okolják, mások pedig politikai tőkét próbálnak kovácsolni a helyzetből. Pamuk Béke-díjjal jutalmazott író.

      Istanbul is a shimmering evocation, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world's great cities, by its foremost writer. Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in 2006, was born in Istanbul, in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy-or hüzün- that all Istanbullus share: the sadness that comes of living amid the ruins of a lost Ottoman Empire. As he companionably guides us across the Bosphorus, through Istanbul's historical monuments and lost paradises, its dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets and waterways, he also introduces us to the city's writers, artists and murderers. Like the Dublin of Joyce and Jan Morris' Venice, Pamuk's Istanbul is a triumphant encounter of place and sensibility, beautifully written and immensely moving.

    • In an old mansion in Cennethisar, a former fishing village near Istanbul, an old widow Fatma awaits the annual summer visit of her grandchildren. She has lived in the village for decades, ever since her husband, an idealistic young doctor, first arrived to serve the poor fishermen. Now mostly bedridden, she is attended by her faithful servant Recep, a dwarf and the doctor's illegitimate son. Under the creeping shadow of right-wing nationalism and political revolution, they share memories, and grievances, of the early years, before their home became a high-class resort.Her visiting grandchildren are Faruk, a dissipated failed historian; his sensitive leftist sister, Nilgun, has yet to discover the real-life consequences of highminded politics; and Metin, a high school student drawn to the fast life of the nouveaux riches, who dreams of going to America. But it is Recep's nephew Hassan, a high-school dropout, lately fallen in with right-wing nationalism, who will draw this family into the revolution and the growing political cataclysm issuing from Turkey's tumultuous century-long struggle for modernity. By turns deeply moving, hilarious, and terrifying, Silent House pulses with the energy of a great writer's early work even as it offers beguiling evidence of the mature genius for which Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in 2006, would later be world renowned.
