Píše se rok 1901 a k ostrovu Minger - "perle východního Středomoří" ležící kdesi mezi Krétou a Kyprem - se pod rouškou tmy blíží neohlášená loď. Na palubě vedle princezny Pakize, dcery sesazeného osmanského sultána, a jejího manžela doktora Nuriho cestuje také hlavní hygienik Bonkowski. Každý z nich má zvláštní poslání, ale ne všichni ho budou moci naplnit. Nad zdánlivě idylickým krajem, který s oblibou zobrazují romantičtí umělci, se stahují temná mračna. Šíří se zvěsti o moru - zvěsti, jež je třeba v zájmu udržení moci ututlat. Jenže morová nákaza má čím dál víc obětí a není zdaleka jediná, kdo na Mingeru zabijí. Snahy o zavedení racionálních vědeckých metod narážejí na fatalistický odpor vůči protiepidemickým nařízením a zároveň se vyostřuje etnické napětí mezi Řeky a Turky, mezi křesťany a muslimy. Když pak Francouzi a Angličané uvalí na ostrov blokádu, aby se nákaza nedostala do Evropy, ospalá osmanská provincie, dokonale odříznutá od okolního světa, se náhle probere z letargie a stává se dějištěm divokého víru událostí: pučů a protipučů, boje modernistů s náboženskými fanatiky, rychlého střídání státních forem i překotného budování nového mingerského národa.

Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je rozsáhlá románová freska zachycující životní osudy pouličního prodavače Mevlüta, jehož rodina v 70. letech emigrovala ze střední Anatolie do Istanbulu. Na rozdíl od většiny svých předchozích děl Pamuk tentokrát opouští prostředí poevropštěné istanbulské smetánky a vydává se mezi migranty a nádeníky z okrajových částí města. Mevlüt se živí jako prodavač bozy, sladkého nápoje z lehce fermentované pšenice, a sní o tom, že jednoho dne zbohatne. Po tři roky neúnavně píše milostné dopisy dívce, kterou spatřil na jedné svatbě, ale nakonec si po sérii omylů odevzdaně vezme její sestru. Podobně smířen s osudem roky den co den obchází ulice Istanbulu a přemýšlí o oné "podivnosti", kterou cítí ve své hlavě a jež ho odlišuje od ostatních - a nakonec ho další zvrat osudu přivede k poznání, po čem to celý život vlastně tolik toužil… Melancholičnost příběhu je narušována plejádou hlasů dalších, mnohdy bytostně komických postav, z nichž každá poodhaluje část Mevlütovy osobnosti a dodává knize humorný podtón. Cosi podivného v mé hlavě je nezvyklým portrétem Istanbulu kresleným z úhlu, jenž je i pro autora novinkou: z pohledu těch, kdo tvoří samé dno pestré istanbulské společnosti; je to další monumentální encyklopedie města, v níž autor s ...

From one of our greatest, a panoramic new novel, his first sinceMuseum of Innocence, bringing us into Istanbul's underground through the eyes of a struggling street vendor. It is the 1990s in Istanbul, and although there were once thousands of boza vendors walking the frozen streets of the city, Mevlut now cuts a lonely figure on snowy winter nights. Falling deeply into debt, and desperate to marry off his incompetent son and satisfy his mistress, Mevlut turns to his old friend Ferhat, who collects payments on electric bills. The partners traverse the back streets of middle class neighbourhoods and shantytowns, venture into flats, shops and restaurants of the poor, relishing their power to punish cheaters and collect bribes. The dangers of Istanbul's underbelly eventually catch up with Mevlut, and he is attacked by a pack of dogs, hospitalized, robbed by bandits, and beaten and threatened at every turn. Istanbul is exposed as a city with a rich and dynamic underground culture which seeps into its secular business centres and mainstream society. Mevlut serves as a flighty guide, occasionally attuned to the city's nuances, but with a wild imagination and instincts tainted by desperation.

By Satoshi NakamotoGuide by Jaya Klara BrekkeIntroduction by James BridleEdited by Ben Vickers In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto published a revolutionary white paper that described a simple peer-to-peer electronic cash system that would later become Bitcoin. In the decade since the launch of the digital currency, the nascent blockchain technology behind Bitcoin has been heralded as having the same radical potential as the printing press or the Internet, in particular presenting extraordinary challenges to traditional banking. Yet the paper contains no reference to existing political ideas, monetary or economic knowledge. Why?James Bridle’s introduction situates Bitcoin within an obscure historical movement of decentralisation, powered by the ideologies of encryption, showing how blockchain is part of a wider project to redraw the maps of political possibility. The White Paper returns to Nakamoto’s canonical text as a Rosetta Stone that reveals the far-reaching implications of decentralisation, with crypto-economist Jaya Klara Brekke’s guide demonstrating how it can serve as the compass for a rapidly shifting terrain of contemporary techno-politics.Inside The White Paper: Extensive introduction by James Bridle on the historical trajectory of cryptography and how it gave rise to the blockchain.
