About the Book: The White Castle
In the seventeenth century, a young Italian scholar sailing from Venice to
Naples is taken prisoner and delivered to Constantinople, into the custody of a
scholar known as Hoja—'master—a man who is his exact double. Hoja wonders, given
the knowledge of each others most intimate secrets, if they could actually
exchange identities.
Set in a world of magnificent scholarship and terrifying savagery, The White
Castle is a colourful and intricately patterned triumph of the imagination.
