Orhan Pamuk zadepiutował monumental novel, so that can not be overlooked because of its size, as well as the artistic value. "Cevdet Bey and sons" is compared to " Buddenbrooks" by Thomas Mann, a book that makes me fall in love with the German Nobel Prize winners. Yes, as in Mann and here we find the stormy history of the family over dzisięcioleci. Yes, as in Mann's most poignant author occupy parts of life heroes. Yes, as in the Mann family is measured with modernity, from the socio - political and as Nobel Prize winner in the family niemieciego inevitably approaching decline. And very importantly, from this book, like the Buddenbrooks can not be absorbed away more than seven hundred pages in three days.
Cevdet Bey a thirty seven merchant from Istanbul. All that earned reached his own work, we find him at a time when her daughter gets engaged to feed, and its the only brother dies gróźlicę. For hundreds of pages we follow the fate of his family, to share their successes and failures. Try to understand their thoughts and feelings, to see their doubts and fears. And it will be an unforgettable adventure.
"Cevdet Bey and Sons" is not my first meeting with Turkish Nobel laureate. Once precedence reached for a few years ago after "Snow" and probably was then too young to appreciate the artistry of a master. One of the most interesting contemporary writers and the most controversial. His speech about Islam, make it become a persona non grata in his own country. Any decorations that receives more stress wytraźniej prozachodniość in the eyes of his countrymen. Completely wrong, because in my eyes an incomparable bard Pamuk of Turkey in Europe. And each of his book leaves a lasting impression.
