Overview
Me llamo Rojo es una novela histórica de trama policiaca, un viaje caleidoscópico al terreno fronterizo entre el arte, la religión, el amor, el sexo y el poder.
El Sultán ha pedido a los artistas más reputados del país un gran libro que celebre las glorias de su reino. Su tarea será iluminar esa obra al estilo europeo. Pero como el arte figurativo puede ser considerado una ofensa al Islam, el encargo se convierte a todas luces en una proposición peligrosa. La élite gober—te no debe conocer el alcance ni la naturaleza de ese proyecto, y el pánico estalla cuando uno delos miniaturistas desaparece. La única pista para resolver el misterio -¿quizá un crimen?- reside en las miniaturas inacabadas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
My Name Is Red is a historical novel with a detective plot—a kaleidoscopic journey through the borderlands between art, religion, love, sex, and power.
The Sultan has commissioned the most renowned artists in the empire to create a magnificent book celebrating the glories of his reign. Their task: to illuminate the work European style. But because figurative art can be considered offensive to Islam, the project quickly becomes a dangerous proposition. The ruling elite must not learn of the book’s scope or nature—and panic spreads when one of the miniaturists disappears. The only clue to solving the mystery—perhaps even a murder—lies hidden within the unfinished illustrations.
