Synopsis "Memories of Distant Mountains: Illustrated Notebooks, 2009-2022"

The journals of the Nobel Prize-winning author, beautifully illustrated with his own paintings For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in Memories of Distant Mountains readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature's most important voices.

Orhan Pamuk es un novelista turco galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2006. Nacido en Estambul en 1952, creció en una familia secular y acomodada, una experiencia que influyó en su exploración de la identidad turca y el choque entre Oriente y Occidente. Aunque inicialmente estudió arquitectura, la abandonó a los 23 años para dedicarse por completo a la escritura.
Su fama internacional creció con novelas como El castillo blanco (1985) y El libro negro (1990). En 2003, ganó el Premio Internacional IMPAC por Me llamo Rojo. La Academia Sueca le otorgó el Nobel "en la búsqueda del alma melancólica de su ciudad natal, [Pamuk] ha descubierto nuevos símbolos para el choque y el entrelazamiento de las culturas".
A lo largo de su carrera, ha defendido la libertad de expresión, lo que lo llevó a enfrentar cargos en su país por hacer comentarios sobre la masacre de un millón de armenios, los cuales fueron desestimados en 2006. Además de escritor, ha enseñado en prestigiosas universidades estadounidenses. Su obra, traducida a más de 60 idiomas, lo ha convertido en el novelista turco más conocido de su generación.
