Orhan Pamuk was honored with Légion d’honneur

Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk was honored with France’s Légion d’honneur on October 29th, 2012. In the ceremony, French Minister of Culture and Communication Aurelie Filippetti said that she is very impressed with the portrait of Istanbul that Orhan Pamuk depicts in his novels and a parallelism can be drawn between Orhan Pamuk and Victor Hugo.

The French award, the "Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur", was created 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The order is generally although not exclusively awarded for military service. While it is the highest decoration bestowed by the nation, a rather large count of individuals have received it.

The award has been given in previous years to such authors, philosophers, politicians and artists as Louis Aragon, Henri Bergson, Jorge Luis Borges, Gerard Depardieu, Placido Domingo, and Léon Foucault.

Yapı Kredi Culture and Art Publishing hosts an exhibition of photographs taken by Orhan Pamuk from his balcony of his home in Istanbul between the dates of December 2012 and April 2013. Curated by the famous German publisher Gerhard Steidl, “ORHAN PAMUK
