鈥榥o one told us that love was the hardest craft to master.鈥�
this book has been sitting on my shelf for years. i have avoided picking it up because how dense it is. but after deciding i had neglected it for far too long, i realised that reading this is a labour of love.
this book takes time and effort and patience. just as the architects apprentice put in the work to build the many mosques of istanbul brick by brick, so too must the reader invest in his story page by page. only then can you appreciate what a masterpiece it is.
ES has designed and constructed a tale worth reading and admiring.

Un roman greu de rezumat 卯n dou膬 cuvinte. Nu po葲i spune c膬 este romanul unei iubiri interzise (de葯i e 葯i asta), nici romanul unei ucenicii (de葯i e 葯i asta), nici romanul solu葲ion膬rii unor 卯nt卯mpl膬ri enigmatice (de葯i e 葯i asta). Modelul lui a fost, probabil, M膬 numesc Ro葯u, capodopera lui Orhan Pamuk. Din p膬cate, Ucenicul arhitectului nu are str膬lucirea literar膬 a modelului. 脦n plus, 卯i lipse葯te aproape cu des膬v卯r葯ire tensiunea. Ac葲iunea l卯nceze葯te. Nu-l po葲i citi cu sufletul la gur膬.
Ca s膬 vorbesc franc, acesta e principalul meu repro葯. R膬m卯i mereu cu impresia c膬 Jahan e privegheat de un destin binevoitor 葯i c膬 toate peripe葲iile prin care trece nu-i pun, de fapt, via葲a 卯n primejdie. Prietenii 卯l salveaz膬 exact c卯nd trebuie 葯i de c卯te ori trebuie. C卯nd ajunge la ananghie, destinul (care aici poart膬 numele nomadului Balaban) 卯l apuc膬 de ciuf 葯i-l trage afar膬 din groap膬. Mai mult, Jahan nu are vreo 卯nsu葯ire ie葯it膬 din comun, e un ins mediocru, 葯ters. M膬car Yusuf (e femeie) 卯l iube葯te pe marele arhitect al seraiului, Mimar Sinan, cu o iubire disperat膬. Yusuf risc膬. 脦n schimb, Jahan iube葯te modic, ia totul a葯a cum e (ah, destinul!) 葯i, c卯nd e deprimat (fiindc膬 prin葲esa Mihrimah se m膬rit膬), porne葯te 卯ntr-o scurt膬 c膬l膬torie la Roma, s膬-l 卯nt卯lneasc膬 pe Michelangelo 葯i s膬-i 卯nm卯neze o scrisoare, prime葯te r膬spunsul 葯i se lini葯te葯te. Altfel spus, iubirea lui e s膬lcie. Nu-l face nici mai bun (oricum e bun), nici mai ambi葲ios, nici mai 卯ndr膬zne葲. C卯nd accep葲i totul f膬r膬 s膬 clipe葯ti, nu po葲i trezi simpatia cititorilor.
Singurul personaj aprig e temuta H眉rrem (Roxelana), dar 卯mp膬r膬teasa apare de prea pu葲ine ori 卯n paginile romanului. 脦n 2014, era la mod膬 din pricina serialului despre Soliman Magnificul. Mult mai interesant膬 e doica prin葲esei Mihrimah, dada Hesna Khatun, cea care, dintr-un devotament orb, fanatic fa葲膬 de Mihrimah, trage sforile ac葲iunii f膬r膬 s-o determine decisiv. Mi-a葯 fi dorit un erou m卯nat de exces. Nu l-am g膬sit...
脦n schimb, am g膬sit c卯teva fraze care mi-au pl膬cut. Cea dint卯i: 鈥濴eul privea dintr un col牛, cu ochii ca dou膬 a艧chii de citrin 卯ntunecat鈥�. 葮i 卯nc膬 una: 鈥濲ahan 卯n牛elese c膬 via牛a e suma alegerilor pe care nu le faci鈥�.
Un roman acceptabil, dar nu mai mult...

R膬m卯i mereu cu impresia c膬 Jahan e privegheat de un destin binevoitor 葯i c膬 toate peripe葲iile prin care trece nu-i pun, de fapt, via葲a 卯n primejdie. Prietenii 卯l salveaz膬 exact c卯nd trebuie 葯i de c卯te ori trebuie. C卯nd ajunge la ananghie, destinul (care aici poart膬 numele nomadului Balaban) 卯l apuc膬 de ciuf 葯i-l trage afar膬 din groap膬. Mai mult, Jahan nu are vreo 卯nsu葯ire ie葯it膬 din comun, e un ins mediocru, 葯ters. M膬car Yusuf (e femeie) 卯l iube葯te pe marele arhitect al seraiului, Mimar Sinan, cu o iubire disperat膬. Yusuf risc膬. 脦n schimb, Jahan iube葯te modic, ia totul a葯a cum e (ah, destinul!) 葯i, c卯nd e deprimat (fiindc膬 prin葲esa Mihrimah se m膬rit膬), porne葯te 卯ntr-o scurt膬 c膬l膬torie la Roma, s膬-l 卯nt卯lneasc膬 pe Michelangelo 葯i s膬-i 卯nm卯neze o scrisoare, prime葯te r膬spunsul 葯i se lini葯te葯te. Altfel spus, iubirea lui e s膬lcie. Nu-l face nici mai bun (oricum e bun), nici mai ambi葲ios, nici mai 卯ndr膬zne葲. C卯nd accep葲i totul f膬r膬 s膬 clipe葯ti, nu po葲i trezi simpatia cititorilor.
Singurul personaj aprig e temuta H眉rrem (Roxelana), dar 卯mp膬r膬teasa apare de prea pu葲ine ori 卯n paginile romanului. 脦n 2014, era la mod膬 din pricina serialului despre Soliman Magnificul. Mult mai interesant膬 e doica prin葲esei Mihrimah, dada Hesna Khatun, cea care, dintr-un devotament orb, fanatic fa葲膬 de Mihrimah, trage sforile ac葲iunii f膬r膬 s-o determine decisiv. Mi-a葯 fi dorit un erou m卯nat de exces. Nu l-am g膬sit...
脦n schimb, am g膬sit c卯teva fraze care mi-au pl膬cut. Cea dint卯i: 鈥濴eul privea dintr un col牛, cu ochii ca dou膬 a艧chii de citrin 卯ntunecat鈥�. 葮i 卯nc膬 una: 鈥濲ahan 卯n牛elese c膬 via牛a e suma alegerilor pe care nu le faci鈥�.

Episodic. Informative, often fun, but still episodic
My wife, who has been reading this in tandem with me for a book club, made the most generous and perceptive remark. 鈥淪hafak is obviously channeling an earlier tradition of oral storytelling,鈥� she said, 鈥渁nd her book should be judged accordingly.鈥� She is right. This sprawling story of Jahan, an Indian boy who arrives in Istanbul at the height of the Ottoman Empire as the mahout for a white elephant and stays to become a favored apprentice of the leading architect of the time has something of the fascination of the Arabian Nights. It is easy to read, and rich in the detail of sights, sounds, tastes, and smells. There are dangers and intrigues, calamities and lucky escapes. It should have been a breeze to get through its 400-plus pages. Only it wasn鈥檛. Well before the quarter-way mark, it had become a slog.
The reason is just what my wife says. As in the oral tradition it imitates, or like Scheherazade鈥檚 Thousand and One Nights, the book is made up of numerous separate episodes that each occupy a dozen pages or so, but barely connect into a larger whole. Scheherazade at least kept her Sultan waiting on a cliff鈥檚 edge before resuming the next night. Shafak does not even do that; each episode is wrapped up neatly at the end of its section. Go on to the next鈥攚hy not? But then again: why? The book can give much pleasure while you are actually reading, but it offers little incentive to keep going. It simply lacks momentum鈥攁nd in a novel, this is a fatal flaw.
As a case in point, a third of the way into the story, the Royal Architect sends Jahar and another apprentice to Rome. While there, they make drawings of the construction of St. Peter鈥檚 and many other buildings, and after many failed attempts finally get in to see the great Michelangelo, who writes a letter to their master. But on the way home, they are robbed; their drawings, books, and the precious letter are stolen. And that鈥檚 all, except for a brief mention at the end of the book. This is one of the richer, better-developed episodes, but it is as though it had never been. Time passes, and we move on to other things鈥攁nd others, and still others.
Jahan falls in love with a princess, far beyond his reach; he finds favor with the Sultan, then loses it; he rides into battle on his elephant, Chota, and experiences defeat; he helps in the construction of magnificent buildings; he is thrown into prison; he has more lucky escapes than Aladdin. To describe a small portion of the book is to whet the literary taste buds. But that takes no account of indigestion. The novel is like a kebab with too many flavorsome tidbits threaded on too long and far too thin a skewer.
Nonetheless, there were two things that kept me going. One was the colorful quality of Shafak鈥檚 writing and her sense of place; there is no mention of a translator, so I assume that the English is her own. Here is Jahan鈥檚 arrival in Istanbul, leading his elephant:
Suleiman I, with his elephant and Sinan鈥檚 S眉leymaniye mosque. Engravings by the Danish artist Melchior Lorck or Lorichs, who appears as a character in the novel.
The other element to capture my interest was the way Shafak weaves true history into her imagined tale (although she admits in an afterword to switching a few things around). Her inspiration, she tells us, was a portrait engraving of Sultan Suleiman I (reigned 1520鈥�66), with an elephant in the background (see above). Mimar Sinan, the Royal Architect, was also a real figure, living from 1488 to 1588 (yes), and designing over 300 major buildings. Two of them play an important part in the story, the S眉leymaniye and Sokollu Mehmed Pasha mosques in Istanbul and the lovely Selimiye mosque In Edirne. The ability to look at photos of these while reading only enhances the color of Elif Shafak鈥檚 words.
Sinan鈥檚 Sokollu Mehmed Pasha mosque in Istanbul.
Dome and . . .
. . . interior of Sinan鈥檚 Selimiye mosque in Edirne.
Though he is not a demonstrative figure, the reader鈥檚 growing awareness of Sinan鈥檚 kindness and paternal concern for his apprentices is one theme that does maintain a steady development throughout the book. Much more so than the thin threads of mystery such as various unexplained accidents and the theft of Michelangelo鈥檚 letter, which neither build much tension nor reach a satisfactory conclusion.
It stretches belief a little that a young architect with increasing responsibilities should also be working as a trainer in the royal menagerie. But the multifaceted variety is essential to Shafak鈥檚 method. A reader who can鈥檛 accept things like that will not get much out of her book. Probably, I was not that reader; in terms of my own absorption, the book was barely three stars. But with an eye to the pleasures on offer to readers who care less about tight structure in a novel, I will happily round that up.

In every street through which they passed, people moved aside in fright and delight. Women drew their babies close; mendicants hid their begging bowls; old men grabbed their canes as though in defence. Christians made the cross; Muslims recited surahs to chase Sheitan away; Jews prayed benedictions; Europeans looked half amused, half awed. A big brawny Kazakh went pale, as though he had just seen a spectre. There was something so infantile in the man鈥檚 fright that Jahan could not help but chuckle. Children, only they, stared up with sparkling eyes, pointing at the white beast.

The Architect's Apprentice is the latest historical novel by Turkish author The author said that that a 1559 painting of Sultan Sulieman standing, an elephant in the background was the inspiration of the novel.
The story goes as the indian boy Jahan sneaks into a ship that traveled to istanbul to deliver an "elephant" a gift from the Maharaja to the Sultan. Then he became the tamer of the elephant at the Sultan's Palace.
The elephant then joins the chief Ottoman Architect Sinan, to transfer the tools in construction sites. The elephant becomes the reason of the friendship between Jahan and Sinan.
Jahan is a fictional character, however Sinan was the most famous and iconic architects's in the ottoman era. He lived in the 16th century and served successively three Sultans in 50 years.
In his time, his work has been compared to the genius work of Italian architect and engineer Michelangelo.

This story is set during the Ottoman Empire, bringing the opulence as well as barbarism of the time. The architect of the story is Mimar Sinan, who created some of the most magnificent buildings in history. His apprentice is a fictional character.
The times are very complicated. There is a lot of intrigue, jealousy, and adventure. Not necessarily something that engrosses me.
The detailed descriptions are overwhelming the story, slowing the pace tremendously. There is a lot going on, and before the plot moves forward, it makes the story stand still for a long time of periods.
The sense of place is very rich. The story telling is very authentic, and at the same time not easy to read. The story is more of a plot-driven, but with those rich descriptions the tensions seem to be lost.
I loved the Forty Rules of Love by this author, which was much more to the point story. The Architect鈥檚 Apprentice is very atmospheric and highly imaginative. Even though, I like philosophical approach, this story lost me.

-stunning writing that stretches how you see the world around you. It gets you thinking in new ways, comparing Eastern versus Western modes of reasoning.
-exciting events. I thought the book was going to end and then realized there were three hours left. There was much more to what had happened than I had realized! I came to understand I needed to know much more.
-the feel, it captures the atmosphere, of Istanbul in the 1500s. A world that I don't know but which felt real, intriguing and filled with magic. Magical in other words.
-extremely interesting details about elephants, gypsies, Ottoman Istanbul, Turkish customs and about the famed Royal architect Mimar Sinan () and the three sultans he worked under Suleiman the Magnificent (), Selim II () and Murad III ().
You end up with a delightful mix of fact and fiction. There is an author鈥檚 note at the end that specifies how and why the author has changed some of the historical facts. You are delivered an engaging story that captivates, intrigues and informs.
The audiobook read by Grant Cartwright is very good. Easy to follow and not over-dramatized. The performance is low-key, which I found perfect since the events in this way speak for themselves.

Voando e Deambulando...
Recostada no meu sof谩 de leitura sobrevoo pal谩cios, princesas, sultanas e sult玫es, homens rudes e perigosos, ciganos, elefantes guerreiros, tigres, ursos...e n茫o me apetece aterrar!
Nota: Esta foi uma resenha sentida, mas algo pregui莽osa. Segue-se uma nova resenha igualmente sentida mas n茫o t茫o pregui莽osa:
Irm茫os de Leite
Era uma vez um elefante branco an茫o chamado Chota, que tinha por irm茫o de leite, um rapaz indiano de nome Jahan...
Irm茫os de Leite?!
Um rapaz e um elefante?
Ter茫o partilhado a mesma ama?
Ou ser谩 que Jahan foi adoptado por uma "Elefanta"?
N茫o! Nada disso!... Eu vou contar:
Ainda por nascer, Chota n茫o fazia men莽茫o de abandonar o ventre materno! Refugiado nas entranhas da m茫e, sentia-se seguro e confort谩vel. S贸 um ato de magia m铆stica o arrancou quase 脿 for莽a!
Uma vez c谩 fora, o min煤sculo elefante n茫o tinha altura suficiente para sorver o leite materno.
Se n茫o fosse Jahan, que sugando e cuspindo esse liquido precioso lho alcan莽ou num balde, Chota n茫o teria sobrevivido.
Depois desse epis贸dio, Jahan e Chota cresceram insepar谩veis!...
E aqui t锚m como um jovem indiano e um elefante branco an茫o se tornaram Irm茫os de Leite.
脡 claro que a est贸ria continua. S贸 que mais鈥� eu n茫o vou contar!
Estas est贸rias do Oriente t锚m sempre um travo ex贸tico que nos p玫e a flutuar!... 馃槈馃馃徑鈥嶁檧锔�

I cannot even begin to express how absolutely beautiful this book is. Everything, from the writing to the historical background, is so sublimely put to paper, it touches the reader so many times, that this has become one of those works for which I find myself incapable of conjuring enough words of praise. I have cried two times during the story, which says a lot about how delicately it tugs at your heartstrings making beauty out of every ugly feeling that it touches. I wish I could retain every word out of it and keep it forever inside of my heart. This is truly one of those pieces of fiction that deserves love - the kind of love you also give to people.

First, let's bask in the beauty of the cover:
Quite a sight, isn't it?
Anyway, this book reminded me a lot of The Golem and the Jinni (tGatJ). They are both historical fictions that take place in cosmopolitan cities told through the eyes of immigrants. In this case an Indian elephant trainer, Jahan, arriving in Ottoman Istanbul with a gift for from a foreign Shah. We see the fascinating world of 16th and early 17th century Istanbul through his eyes as Jahan is taken under the wing of , the Royal architect, as well as presenting the elephant, Chota, in Imperial functions (war, parades, impressing foreign guests, etc..). Jahan interacts with a wide variety of historical figures, but these encounters never felt forced or contrived.
Much like tGatJ the story takes a very meandering pace, letting the reader soak in the settings and get to know the interesting characters Jahan meets. This book takes place over many decades and is told not so much as one coherent plot line, but a big collection of little vignettes. In one section the plague swept through the city, striking down many people can bringing the otherwise bustling metropolis to a halt. Shafak does a splendid job painting a bleak picture of the situation:
What I liked so much about this book was Shafak's gorgeous use of language.
As much as I enjoyed these little slice of life moments, the book did lack a driving force. Jahan was for the most part reacting to thing around him. In tGatJ the action is compressed over a much shorted span of time with indications of a malevolent force lingering int he background. While there was some strange goings on over the course of this book, it did not come to a head until the very end of the book, when these happenings had mostly become moot. Which is a shame because the ideas the end brought up were actually quite interesting and worth exploring further.
In the end this proved to be a very enjoyable read in spite of this shortcoming. If you find the Ottoman Empire fascinating (like me) or just like good historical fiction this is an excellent book to pick up.

Grief was an indulgence only a few could afford. Death had to stop harassing the living for the dead to be properly mourned. When the plague was gone, only then would kin and kith beat their breasts and shed their tears to their heart's content. For now grief was pickled and preserved, kept next to the salted meats and dried peppers in the cellars, to be partaken of in better times.On another occasion Jahan and another apprentice are sent to Rome by their Master to study the architecture there and communicate with Michelangelo. Jahan must take Chota to war, works on some of the great Ottoman Mosques, and becomes familiar with the royal princess, , to name but a few of the events of his long life.
What I liked so much about this book was Shafak's gorgeous use of language.
The Muslims wore turbans; Jews had red hats; and Christians, black hats. Arabs, Kurds, Nestorians, Circassians, Kazakhs, Tatars, Albanians, Bulgarians, Greeks, Abkhazs, Pomaks... They walked separate paths while their shadows met and mingled.She infuses the story with gorgeous imagery, well developed characters, and elegant prose. Each character had their own unique voice and outlook that flowed naturally from their circumstances and background; every character felt real and alive. It was fascinating to see how characters changed over the course of the story and how their past actions changed when viewed from the perspectives gained at the end of the book.

I saw this novel reviewed pretty glowingly, in the New York Times. I love historical fiction and I haven't read much on 16th Century Istanbul, so I was excited to give it a try. I started to read and was immediately captivated by the introduction, where Jahan (our Architect's Apprentice) has witnessed the disposal of a number of bodies at the palace where he lives and works.
There were hints at a great love that went unfulfilled...yay! There was the idea that this man had risen from being an elephant's trainer to rising to work for an important architect...fantastic! I read on. By page 100 of almost 400, I realized that the author was wandering around with no solid plot in sight.
The 'great love' was the only daughter of the Sultan Suleiman, but she only dropped in occasionally to visit Chota, the elephant that Jahan was training. She and Jahan had something that might have been called conversations, but we never see them fleshed out. We don't see the relationship building, but rather, sporadically throughout the book, Mirhimah will wander into the story not to be heard from again for the next 50 pages. Their relationship is never really developed. Highly disappointing...strike one.
Jahan is 12 years old when he is first introduced. Unfortunately, as the book wanders its way through his life, there is nothing to indicate his changing age...till you read that his hair is turning white...wait, what??? How old is he? And, he's still an apprentice when he's an old guy? Strike two.
The biggest problem is that the story wanders from event to event with nothing to get the reader invested. Yes, there is someone who is trying to bring down the "master" (the architect) and we see an event here and there, with dozens and dozens of pages between. I kept forgetting that there was a threat, because hey...the elephant needed a tooth pulled or the elephant has gotten out of his chains or whatever. No suspense. Strike three.
The saving grace...getting it to 2 stars...was the beauty of the language.

Wow! I haven't read such wonderfully detailed and realistic historical fiction in a pretty long time. The Architect's Apprentice follows the story of Jahan, a young boy from India who sets out to escape his stepfather and seek his fortune. He ends up in Istanbul and falls in love - with an elephant, a princess, an architect, and a city.
The narrative flows along delightfully from one story to another, one character to the other. The relationships ebb and flow as Jahan finds one adventure after another. Istanbul under the reign of three sultans: Suleiman, Salim, and Murad, is beautifully depicted. Jahan works as an apprentice to Sinan, the wonderful architect, who built Istanbul's many beautiful structures. As a cultural centre and a military powerhouse, Ottoman Istanbul has a lot to offer in terms of historical storytelling and Shafak makes full use of the opportunity.
I was a little afraid that Jahan's love story would go the way of most silly historical fiction nowadays but Shafak really built on it beautifully. I enjoyed the role of the elephant as I am a sucker for any strong animal character. I loved the intense character sketches - Shafak has a way of bringing in very interesting characters and then gently nudging them away from the main story without the reader getting frustrated.
After a lifetime of building in Istanbul, Jahan ends up back in Agra, building the Taj Mahal for Shah Jahan. I liked the Indian angle and enjoyed the references to Mughal India. I wish there was more of it but you can't have everything!
Every step of the way, I was aware of the excellent research. Some liberties were taken with the chronology and the dates, but that did not interfere with the feel of the times. I hope Elif Shafak writes more historical fiction set in Turkey. I'm sure to devour them all! Definitely an author I'd be looking out for in future.

This novel has poetry under its skin; without being direct about it, Shafak beguilingly invites you to experience life as a poem
The great architect of Ottoman Istanbul, Sinan, gets the historical novel he deserves here in my humble opinion. While the protagonist, Jahan, is a flawed character, often hapless or selfish, whose Bildungsroman this is in part, Sinan is wise, generous, driven, brilliant. Countless chapters end with a quotable comment of his on the nature of the possible and the human. On the other hand, his character can be critiqued The novel thus avoids becoming a praise song for Sinan. I also think viewing a historical figure through the eyes of a fictional protagonist is a good policy; I really dislike when historical fiction feels obfuscating and intrusive. Shafak鈥檚 research and imaginative reconstruction of Sinan鈥檚 working life is gracefully integrated into Jahan鈥檚 story, which is interesting enough to carry the historical freight.
If Jahan himself is unremarkable, that only throws the 鈥榞ypsy鈥� leader Balaban, Sinan himself, princess Mihrimah and the elephant Chota, the real stars of the show, into sharper and brighter relief. Each of these elements is meticulously realised. Shafak draws attention to racism against Romany people even in extremely cosmopolitan Istanbul, and she neither exotifies nor romantically mythologises them, but gives them a highly positive role. The depiction of Chota and other animals in the menagerie is tender. But the real historical figures and their acts carry such a magical, poetic aura of the past that they are my favourite aspect of the book.
The style is easy, not ornate, but some of Shafak鈥檚 descriptions pulled me up short with delight: 鈥渢he wine taste of tree bark and roses left to dry鈥�. The elegance, directness and tenderness of Sufi poetry infuses the language. I love the headstone:
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy -RumiThis subtle narrative sensibility transforms events into gestures behind my eyes like a dance. Poetry is a retreat for me, a consolation, and so I found this book, reassuringly long, consoling, passing-sweet like the cherry blossoms that opened and fell around London while I was reading it. The retreat to the past, to love and life as a poem, a series of word-gestures coalescing into a dance, soothed me, and gave me an image of Istanbul to hold through the turbulent present.

Pray for the soul of one whose name was not discoveredWhile most of the central characters are men, the plot still revolves around women in some ways, and there are some excellent female characters, whose lives reflect local partriarchy and their own suppressed brilliance. For them, I round up my stars.
Loved by the Almighty, He hath known her always.

We live, toil and die under the same invisible dome. Rich and poor, Mohammedan and baptized, free and slave, man and woman, Sultan and mahout, master and apprentice 鈥� I have come to believe that if there is one shape that reaches out to all of us, it is the dome. That is where all the distinctions disappear and every single sound, whether of joy or sorrow, merges into one huge silence of all-encompassing love. When I think of this world in such a way, I feel dazed and disoriented, and cannot tell any longer where the future begins and the past ends; where the West falls and the East rises.

Interesting
Jahan was a captivating figure, I'll give him that and I really liked the character development that Jahan has, he went from being a naive kid to a full grown man who has a lot of awareness and has control over his life and fate.
But Mimar Sinan, he ignited a fire within me! The sheer love he poured into his work, the unwavering dedication, it was mesmerizing. He wasn't just building structures; he was sculpting dreams, shaping the very future of humanity with kindness, fairness, and a visionary spirit.
The way he chose his students, solely based on their burning passion and insatiable thirst for knowledge was truly inspiring. The man was a real Guru.
As an ardent lover of art and architecture, I felt the writer's own passion radiating from every word.
Sinan didn't just rely on cold, hard mathematics; he infused his creations with the warmth of his heart, the depth of his soul. The result, Masterpieces that transcend time, that evoke emotions, that whisper stories.
In those bygone eras, architects weren't just builders; they were artists.
They crafted spaces that nurtured the human spirit, places where people felt comfortable, complete. A temple, a mosque, a church 鈥� each one a sanctuary, a connection to something greater than ourselves.
Alas, today's buildings, Lifeless, soulless shells. Built not for the soul, but for the almighty dollar. Just bricks and mortar, devoid of spirit, devoid of the magic that once breathed life into every stone. Sinan, and those like him, were true artists, their creations a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring beauty of the human spirit.
I must admit, I found the first Sultan and his followers to be greedy, stupid, hypocritical, and shallow minded.I was deeply irritated by their vulgar personalities.
It was really upsetting to see how badly the man and his students were treated. They were smart people who brought knowledge to a world that was mostly ignorant.
It was also very interesting seeing the gap and the difference between each sultan and their way of ruling and viewing the world.
But overall, I truly enjoyed both reading this and the opportunity to share my feelings of love and passion for architecture.
The plot twist which the writer added at the end of the book was good but it was kinda confusing because we suddenly went from historical fiction to thrill , that made me scratch my head as I didn't really know what was happening, but It was a good plot twist.
I also like the religious touch that she tend to add to her book, the pure kind of love to God and the way she just views him, because I personally believe in the same way. I believe in a big hearted, kind and forgiving god.
I've read a lot of books to Elif and she is just one of those writer that you know, they'll never let you down.
She just always deliver.

I鈥檝e challenged myself to read more books by International authors, I think it makes my world more expansive, it requires a certain sensibility. And not just Irish mysteries or Swedish stories about quirky geriatrics, though they are highly entertaining, but more literature with a capital L. So when The Architect鈥檚 Apprentice started popping up on must read lists, I stepped right up. I like my history with a side of fiction and given architecture is at this novel鈥檚 heart, I was sold.
What I found is that this story required a different kind of reading as it was highly imaginative, atmospheric and more philosophical than I鈥檇 anticipated, this isn鈥檛 a book you read quickly. The author gives us the opulence of the Ottoman Empire, while also the barbarism. At times the prose was overwhelming and, truthfully, I wasn鈥檛 always too keen on returning to it, but forge on I did and I鈥檓 happy for the experience. The writing is languid and other-worldly, the truths it reveals take a bit more focus to fully grasp.
The architect to which the title alludes is Mimar Sinan who has been credited with more than 300 glorious structures and served under three Sultans. The fictionalized portion introduces us to an apprentice, Jahan, who receives not only an architectural education, but a spiritual one as well. The narrative follows an episodic construct, think Turkish Pillars of the Earth, though characterization only scratches the surface. This makes some sense, it鈥檚 a cast of many, but when Chota the elephant and the Gypsy Balaban are the most clearly wrought characters, you have to wonder why you never get a deeper sense of the protagonists.
That said, Shafak has written a beautiful ode to 16th century Turkey, to a master of architecture and the cultures that built Turkey鈥檚 magnificent domes. We also glimpse the clash between science and the Muslim faith and are presented a philosophical view of life that is not common to Western culture. This isn鈥檛 for everyone (as my book club can attest), but for those that choose to read it, its beauty will not disappoint.

I loved many parts of this novel, especially in terms of Jahan's relationship with his elephant. I was truly immersed in the first third, but the story began meandering and I felt like I following Jahan through an Ottoman Empire labyrinth. Shafak's writing is elegant, so I was willing to take this journey. However, I was too often disconnected from Jahan in the process. Still provides an illuminating glimpse into this fascinating place and period of history.

I had heard a lot of good things about Elif Shafak, and my first experience of her writing confirmed that she is a proper wizard with words, atmosphere and settings. 鈥淭he Architect鈥檚 Apprentice鈥� took me on a journey through 16th century Istanbul, a bustling, cosmopolitan city where many worlds seem to intersect. I had visited that place with Pamuk鈥檚 鈥淢y Name is Red鈥� (/review/show...), but I hadn鈥檛 been crazy about that trip. Shafak, however, completely seduced me with Jahan鈥檚 story, and I was sad to leave him when I flipped the last page.
Jahan arrives in Istanbul under rather unusual circumstances: officially, he is the trainer and minder of a gorgeous white elephant he has cared for since the creature鈥檚 birth, but the captain of the ship on which he travelled has different plans for him. While tending to both his official duty and secret activities, he will meet the Royal Architect, Mimar Sinan, who sees potential in the young Indian boy and decides to take him on as an apprentice. The novel follows Jahan鈥檚 life, his work, his travels and his loves, and draws an amazing portrait not only of the character, but of a very unique time and place in history. It鈥檚 hard to summarize in more details, because to be honest, the narrative meanders: there is no structured plot in 鈥淭he Architect鈥檚 Apprentice鈥�, we simply follow Jahan鈥檚 footsteps, but that鈥檚 the beauty of the story, it grows with him.
I wasn鈥檛 expecting to adore Chota the elephant as much as I did, but of course, I ended up as attached to him as Jahan is. Shafak did a wonderful job of making him just as much of a character as the humans are. And of course, the city of Istanbul is a character in and off itself too: through Jahan鈥檚 apprenticeship, he helps build some amazing and famous buildings, mosques, observatories and palaces that we get to see through their builders鈥� eyes. If you have never given much thought to visiting Istanbul before reading this book, it will definitely make you want to travel and see those marvellous monuments with your own eyes.
It鈥檚 not a perfect book because it doesn鈥檛 go quite as deep as I would have liked on many aspects of Jahan鈥檚 story. I think I would have liked it even more if it had been a bit longer and explored his relationship with his master, the other apprentices and the gypsies more fully. But do not let that small complaint deter you from reading Jahan and Chota鈥檚 story. It is still lush with dream-like beauty and wonders.
