A portrait, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world’s great cities, by its foremost man of letters, author of the acclaimed novels Snow and My Name Is Red.
Blending reminiscence with history; family photographs with portraits of poets and pashas; art criticism, metaphysical musing, and, now and again, a fanciful tale, Orhan Pamuk invents an ingenious form to evoke his lifelong home, the city that forged his imagination. He begins with his childhood among the eccentric extended Pamuk family in the dusty, carpeted, and hermetically sealed apartment building they shared. In this place came his first intimations of the melancholy awareness that binds all residents of his city together: that of living in the seat of ruined imperial glories, in a country trying to become “modern” at the dizzying crossroads of East and West. This elegiac communal spirit overhangs Pamuk’s reflections as he introduces the writers and painters (among the latter, most particularly the German Antoine-Ignace Melling) through whose eyes he came to see Istanbul. Against a background of shattered monuments, neglected villas, ghostly backstreets, and, above all, the fabled waters of the Bosphorus, he presents the interplay of his budding sense of place with that of his predecessors. And he charts the evolution of a rich, sometimes macabre, imaginative life, which furnished a daydreaming boy refuge from family discord and inner turmoil, and which would continue to serve the famous writer he was to become. It was, and remains, a life fed by the changing microcosm of the apartment building and, even more, the beckoning kaleidoscope beyond its walls.
As much a portrait of the artist as a young man as it is an oneiric Joycean map of the city, Istanbul is a masterful evocation of its subject through the idiosyncrasies of direct experience as much as the power of myth--the dazzling book Pamuk was born to write.</p>

这本书是我在去喀什噶尔前看的。也许是同样生活在伊斯兰文化的背景下,虽没有去过伊斯坦布尔,但却如身临其境,跟着作者在伊斯坦布尔的街道穿行、穿越博斯普鲁斯海峡…… 我会暂时把我最高的评价送给它。在去过喀什噶尔之后,我更加坚定。 伊斯坦布尔和喀什噶尔都是有各自文化...
评分读帕慕克的《伊斯坦布尔——一座城市的记忆》是一种阅读上的奢侈享受,这可以说是我读过的最美的文字(当然我的阅读有限),真正体会到文字的魅力。自己是很怕写叙述性的文字,总觉得写了许多却仍不能真正的表达自己的感受。“当我沉默的时候,我感到充实;我将开口,同时感到...
评分一座城,就像一个人。 她可以是明信片上令人神往的风景,可以是舞台剧中如画的幕布,可以是诗人笔下如梦的故乡……然而所有这一切,都不会是城的全部。 城是一种身世,有起落,有美丑;再精美的建筑也会逐渐老朽,直至在一场熊熊的大火中化为尘土;再壮丽的广场,也会被平庸...
评分阅读《伊斯坦布尔》,需要耐心,或者说适当的心境。而这心境,与其说是来自于个性,不如说是来自于生活,特别是某一时段的生活。 以我为例,数月前的第一次阅读就无疾而终,这一点有点儿像某些豆友;而在最近的这一次阅读中,我却渐渐地被它吸引,这一点又像另一些豆友...
评分俺读的是土耳其语版,呵呵。 (好得意)
