«Orhan Pamuk ofrece aqu, sin duda, lo ms personal, lo ms ntimo de su obra . -Jean-Claude Perrier, Livres Hebdo
«Tengo que escribir sobre el placer que siento al escribir por encima de un dibujo. Esto es lo que hay que decir: entre los 7 y los 22 aos pens que iba a ser pintor. A los 22, muri el pintor que haba en m y empec a escribir novelas. En 2008, entr en una tienda y sal con dos enormes bolsas llenas de lpices y pinceles; luego, entre el placer y el temor, empec a dibujar en pequeos cuadernos. No, el pintor que haba en m no estaba muerto . Desde hace quince aos, Orhan Pamuk escribe y dibuja a diario en sus cuadernos. Anota sus pensamientos sobre la actualidad, dialoga con los personajes de sus novelas, confiesa sus miedos y preocupaciones, narra sus encuentros y viajes y reflexiona sobre el amor y la felicidad. Por primera vez, el escritor que soaba con ser pintor nos muestra una cuidada seleccin personal de sus dibujos, una bellsima aproximacin a la ntima y prolfica lectura que hace Pamuk del mundo y de la vida a travs de un conmovedor mosaico de paisajes y reflexiones. Recuerdos de montaas lejanas se convierte as en un verdadero espacio artstico alejado del diario o las memorias tradicionales, dando lugar a un libro singular e inimitable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Noble Prize-winning novelist Orhan Pamuk shares his memories and impressions through a life's worth of drawings and reflections. "I must write about the pleasure I feel when writing alongside a drawing. This is what I have to say: Between the ages of 7 and 22, I thought I was going to be a painter. At 22, the painter in me died and I started to write novels. In 2008, I went into a store and came out with two huge bags full of pencils and brushes and, with a mix of fear and pleasure, I started making drawings in small notebooks. The painter in me wasn't dead after all." For the last fifteen years, Orhan Pamuk has filled his diaries with text and drawings. He jots down his thoughts on current events, engages in a dialogue with the characters in his novels, confesses his fears and concerns, chronicles his travels, and ruminates on love and happiness. For the first time, the writer who dreamed of being a painter shares a curated selection of his personal drawings, a gorgeous glimpse of his intimate and prolific reading of the world and life through an evocative mosaic of landscapes and reflections. Rather than a diary or traditional memoir, Memories of Distant Mountains is more of an artistic space captured in a unique and inimitable volume.
