Beyaz Kale: Roman

Istanbul: Can Yayinlar, 1985. First edition (presumed; no earlier dates stated). Small octavo in white paper wraps with blue illus to center; 159 p.; 20 cm Rear wrap appears to have been stuck to another object or surface and shows ample chafing and other typical signs of 'adhesion abuse'. As a result, text copy to rear wrap only about 50% legible. Small closed tear to first two preliminiary pages (at gutter). Overall Good+ worn copy, with some typical rubbing to spine head and foot. Pages clean, binding tight. Paperback.

Scarce. First edition of original Turkish language version of The White Castle. In Turkish. Pamuk received the 2006 Nobel Prize in literature
