Black Book is 25 Years Old - Hardcover

Turkish literature of the last forty years can be divided into two: before the Black Book and after the Black Book. The Black Book, which surprised readers with its change, strangeness and beauty as soon as it was published and immediately became the focus of discussions, is an indispensable classic of modern Turkish literature.

We have prepared a special edition of this never-ending mystery novel on the 25th anniversary of its publication. With Pamuk's manuscript pages, the vast majority of which have not been published anywhere, his drawings, the paragraphs and sentences that he added and removed at the last minute to the first edition, each more interesting than the other, and his writings and scribbles that reveal the enigmas and riddles of the book.

Galip, his childhood love, his friend. , begins searching for his uncle's daughter, lover and missing wife, Rüya, in Istanbul on a snowy winter day. The columns of his close relative, journalist Celâl, whose writings he has admired since his childhood, will accompany him in this search. While the reader follows Galip's research and the people he encounters in Istanbul, where every chimney, every street, and every person turns into a sign of another mysterious world, he also encounters Celâl's columns, which complement these researches with strange stories. This research, which extends from the stories of old executioners to the disastrous days when the waters of the Bosphorus will recede, from disguised pashas to the secrets of the meaning on our faces, from the remote and dark corners of Istanbul to its ridiculous and strange people, from our recent history to the forgotten and surprising details of our daily lives, takes Galip both to his missing wife. and will draw us towards the lost mystery in which our lives are buried.
