For many years, Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him.

The incident that inspired Pope was related to him by his friend John Caryll. Lord Petre had cut off a lock of the hair of Arabella Fermor, whom he was courting at the time, without asking the lady's permission.

Niemand verkörpert das Berlin der Weimarer Republik zwischen Schreibmaschinengrau, hellen Kinoreklamen und nicht enden wollenden Nächten im Romanischen Café so sehr wie die melancholische Großstadtdichterin mit ihrem sprühenden Witz.

Il lui semble que chaque chose est bien à sa place, que chaque personne autour de cette table est un peu trop racée pour être honnête.
