Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature\n\n'Everyone should read Pamuk' The New Statesman\n'You could become obsessed with this novel' Guardian\n\nOsman is a young engineering student when he finds a mysterious and dangerous book that promises him a new and exciting life. He abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family, falls in love and embarks on restless bus rides through a nocturnal landscape of travellers' cafes and apocalyptic bus wrecks, all in pursuit of this elusive vision.\n\nBut will he, or the reader, ever understand the nature of this strange obsession?

The Ottoman Sultan has commissioned the best artists in the land to create a book celebrating the glories of his realm: but he wants them to illuminate it in the European style. Because figurative art is deemed by many to be an affront to Islam, the project must be kept secret. Panic and scandal erupt when one of the chosen miniaturists disappears, along with a crucial page of the manuscript. The surviving artists - bitter rivals variously motivated by pride, greed, jealousy, faith and love - are all under suspicion of murder, and the only clue to the mystery lies in the half-finished illustrations themselves. My Name is Red reveals the clash between two views of artistic meaning and the chasm between two world civilizations. In this special edition the author includes a chronology of Islamic and Western art history to provide valuable context for his story, and has contributed a fascinating introduction throwing light on his methods, his aims and his inspiration

A magnificent love story and powerful tale of religious fanaticism, from the internationally bestselling Nobel laureate.\n\n** ORDER THE NEW NOVEL FROM ORHAN PAMUK, NIGHTS OF PLAGUE **\n\nWinner of the Nobel Prize for Literature\n\n'Not only an engrossing feat of tale-spinning, but essential reading for our times.' Margaret Atwood, The New York Times\n'A major work. . . with suspense at every dimpled vortex' John Updike, The New Yorker\n'Powerful. . . astonishingly timely' Vogue\n'Orhan Pamuk is the sort of writer for whom the Nobel Prize was invented.' Daily Telegraph\n\nAn exiled poet returns to the remote city of Kars on the Turkish border to investigate troubling reports of a suicide epidemic among its young women. While there, he reconnects with the beautiful Ipek, and finds himself drawn irresistibly back into their love story.\n\nBut Kars has become a touchpoint for religious and political violence and religious extremists are poised to win the local elections. As the snow falls and suspicion mounts, the stage is set for a terrible and desperate act . . .

Returning to Turkey from exile in the West, the secular poet Ka is driven by curiosity to investigate a surprising wave of suicides among religious girls forbidden by the government to wear their head scarves in school. But the epicentre of the suicides, the bleak, impoverished border city of Kars, is also home to the beautiful Ipek, a friend of Ka's youth whom he has never forgotten and whose spirited younger sister is a leader of the rebellious schoolgirls. As a fierce snowstorm descends, cutting them off from the world, violence between the military and local Islamic radicals begins to explode, and Ka finds his sympathies drawn in unexpected and dramatic directions.

Investita da una tormenta di neve, la città è un miscuglio di etnie e fazioni politiche. Ci sono turchi, curdi, georgiani, nazionalisti laici e integralisti religiosi. C'è la polizia segreta, c'è l'esercito e ci sono i terroristi islamici. Ka inizia la sua indagine, mentre la neve continua a cadere e le strade vengono chiuse. Kars è isolata. In città, Ka rivede dopo diversi anni Ipek, una compagna di università molto bella. Ka se ne innamora e sogna di portarla con sé in Germania. Per realizzare questo sogno, farà di tutto. La situazione precipita quando una compagnia di teatro mette in scena un dramma degli anni Venti, scritto in sostegno della laicità dello Stato fondato da Atatùrk, dove una donna, coraggiosamente, brucia il chador in pubblico. Durante lo spettacolo alcuni giovani del liceo religioso inscenano una protesta. E la serata finisce nel sangue. Ka viene coinvolto suo malgrado. È uno spettatore imparziale, ma molto confuso. Non sa nemmeno rispondere alla domanda: credi in Dio? Sostiene che a Kars ha ritrovato Allah, ma poi l'unica cosa che gli interessa è la ricerca, molto occidentale, della felicità. Il dilemma di Ka ruota intorno al confronto tra Occidente e Islam.

INDEPENDENT\n'Chock-full of sublimity and sin.' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW\n'Wonderful, dreamy, passionate and august.' SPECTATOR\n\nIn the late 1590s, the Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and his empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. At a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?\n\nWith the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures.\n\nOrhan Pamuk is one of the world's leading contemporary novelists and in My Name is Red, he fashioned an unforgettable tale of suspense, and an artful meditation on love and deception.

Il poeta Ka, dopo dodici anni di esilio in Germania, torna a Istanbul. Dopo pochi giorni parte alla volta di una città della provincia anatolica, Kars, dove fortissime sono le contraddizioni fra la Turchia moderna e laica e le sue profonde radici islamiche. Da qualche tempo, infatti, nella città dilaga una vera e propria epidemia di suicidi: a togliersi la vita sono studentesse universitarie cui viene impedito di indossare il velo in aula che si uccidono per difendere i loro ideali contro le imposizioni dello Stato laico. Inviato da un quotidiano per intervistare parenti e amici delle ragazze, il poeta rimane affascinato da questa città di provincia triste e remota, un tempo prosperosa città commerciale, oggi avamposto dell'integralismo islamico...
