Orhan Pamuk is a famous Turkish writer, winner of numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature "for finding the soul of his melancholic city". The debut novel "Cevdet Bey and Sons" occupies a special place in Orhan Pamuk's work. The echoes of events and the names of characters in this fascinating family saga, covering three generations of an Istanbul family, can be found in many of the writer's books. This work, reminiscent of Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga" and Thomas Mann's "The Buddenbrokes", reflects all the favorite themes of Pamuk's future novels: the human desire to find his place in a changing world, the confrontation between East and West, the love of stories and mysteries, the conflict between fathers and children. And above all, of course, descriptions of Istanbul, how this unique city has changed over the course of the 20th century.
