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.
