- Summary:
- Orhan Pamuk proffers a dazzling work of historical and philosophical fiction, set amid the scholarship and savagery of 17th-century Constantinople. When a young Italian scholar is taken prisoner, he becomes the slave and tutor of a Turkish scholar who is his exact double. The white castle is a triumph of the imagination, as colorful and intricately patterned as a Turkish prayer rug.
