| 內容簡介： |
From a Turkish writer who has been compared with Borges,
Nabokov, and DeLillo comes a dazzling novel that is at once a
captivating work of historical fiction and a sinuous treatise on
the enigma of identity and the relations between East and West. In
the 17th century, a young Italian scholar sailing from Venice to
Naples is taken prisoner and delivered to Constantinople There he
falls into the custody of a scholar known as Hoja--"master"--a man
who is his exact double. In the years that follow, the slave
instructs his master in Western science and technology, from
medicine to pyrotechnics. But Hoja wants to know more: why he and
his captive are the persons they are and whether, given knowledge
of each other''s most intimate secrets, they could actually exchange
identities. Set in a world of magnificent scholarship and
terrifying savagery, The White Castle is a colorful and intricately
patterned triumph of the imagination. Translated from the Turkish
by Victoria Holbrook.
