    About this audiobook

    In Istanbul, in the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day—in the European manner. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?

    A thrilling murder mystery, My Name Is Red is also a stunning meditation on love, artistic devotion and the tensions between East and West.

      Five Poems

      May 1, 2020

      How on the Kama River the eye grows dark,when the cities stand on oaken knees. Disguising itself in a web, beard to beard,the burning pine grove runs, younger in the water. The water resisted one hundred and four oars,bearing them up and down to Kaza

      I love Scribd, but this version of the book keeps splitting the book and skipping to the following chapter. It is not complete.

      Incomplete-last words of chapter ends are missing. Otherwise it seems a great book.

      Why does this version always skip the last few words of a chapter. Its difficult to make out what the sentence is supposed to convey.

    • 5/5
      A very interesting and well written book regarding the tensions that arose in a guild of book decorating artists in the Ottoman empire during the late 16th century when their artistic survival was threatened by the rise of new ideas regarding artistic style and individuality by the masters of Venetian art in portraiture. The author unveils a story of human passions as a pretext for a masterful comparison of two clashing worlds in the history of art.
    • 5/5
      An exceptional story of a murder that had its roots in religion, art and culture. The books begins with the narrative of a corpse and throughout the book, around 16+ narrators describe the story according to their own unique perspectives to their surroundings. Pamuk definitely deserved the Nobel award after this masterpiece!
