Hello, guys!
I´m trying to read Orhan Pamuk´s novel Kara Kitap and have stumbled on the following sentence where I have a grammar question.
Kitap, bir geceyarısı, İstanbul´un arka sokaklarından BIRINI tasvirle açılıyor.
Why the objective case in BIRINI?
If I´m not mistaken the sentence means somewhat like
The book begins with a picture of one of Istanbul´s back streets at midnight.
Correct me if I´m wrong.
Thank you in advance.

This sentence doesn´t sound right to me. I would rewrite it as "Kitap, bir geceyarısı, İstanbul´un arka sokaklarından BİRİNİN tasviri ile açılıyor.

two sentences (in turkish) are right, but second one is most correct.
...birinin tasviriyle (or tasviri ile) açılıyor.
