My Name is Red
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. At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. 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?With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures … Orhan Pamuk is one of the world's leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception.Inheritors
"e;Powerful and provocative …Each time I revisit "e;The Inheritors"e; I find something new."e; (Penelope Lively). This was a different voice; not the voice of the people. It was the voice of other. When the spring came the people moved back to their familiar home. But this year strange things were happening - inexplicable sounds and smells; unexpected acts of violence; and new, unimaginable creatures half-glimpsed through the leaves. Seen through the eyes of a small tribe of Neanderthals whose world is hanging in the balance, "e;The Inheritors"e; explores the emergence of a new race - ourselves, Homo sapiens - whose growing dominance threatens an entire way of life. "e;An earthquake in the petrified forest of the English novel."e; (Arthur Koestler). It comes with a new introduction by John Carey.
