Description

The great white star of Pamo, who was the Nobel Prize-winning author. "Why am I in the background of Istanbul, the city where East and West face each other?". 'I am seriously exploring the human source of question. In the 17th century, a young scholar in Venice, "I" was captured by the Ottoman fleet while en route to Naples and became a slave in Istanbul. The one who enslaved me is Hosa, a man whose appearance is remarkably similar to mine, but who only cares about the academic knowledge of me and the country in which he lived. Two people who are in every way like you start sharing their knowledge, sharing their childhood with their painful past.

I'll buy it for you, Ian, because you recommended it as a parming book. My name was red and pure in the museum, but I did read it.

I was recommended to have a good story, but I want to read it!

"I was not a normal slave" was a very impressive phrase, and in modern terms it is the best way to describe "I" that we're going through the crazy.

The Turkish hohja, represented in the Orient, and the Venetian slave meeting in the West, and their episode, are talking about who the East is.

Although I heard most people say that this was the first time that he expressed himself well ‘the conflict, conflict and contrast of Eastern and Western civilizations,’ in my case I focused on the stories of both me and Hoja rather than on such ‘a big and difficult ’ subject. In fact, the story is not so special, it's a very personal story, and when you read it, you get really weirdly involved in two people's mental relationships and tensions.

I wasn't a book for the trick, but it was a book that made me think, and it was great, because I bought it from the winter bookstore on YouTube, and the writer said that the historical fact of the matter wasn'T important. I want to read it again after studying Turkish history, and I've been able to draw it in rows and then put it back into my situation of moving abroad and changing my familiar lifestyle.

Would it be a pleasure to meet someone who looked exactly like me in a different culture and change things? And because of the rising emigration, we also understand the history of the Ottoman Empire.
