This is a great honour and distinction for me". ~said Orhan Pamuk, who received an AMU Honorary Doctorate today in Lubrański Hall.
Meanwhile, yesterday, 27 June, the Nobel laureate took part in an author's meeting organised at the Faculty of Law and Administration of AMU.
"We are honouring one of the greatest living writers of our time, a man who is not only the author of excellent and moving novels for all of us, but also an individual with an impeccable moral stance [...] Someone who recalls the noblest attitudes of writers who fought against totalitarianism and different regimes. Orhan Pamuk is an author everyone should read at some point." ~ said the Dean of the Faculty of Polish and Classical Philology, Prof. Mizerkiewicz, on the day the Senate unanimously approved the decision to award the title of Doctor Honoris Causa to Orhan Pamuk.
Orhan Pamuk is a Turkish writer, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006, whose work is mainly devoted to the contact between Eastern and Western cultures. His books have been translated into more than 40 languages.
