Orhan Pamuk is a renowned Turkish author and the recipient of numerous national and international awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature for his "search for the soul of his melancholic city." Indeed, almost all of the writer’s novels are set in Istanbul, a mysterious and beautiful city that has experienced a glorious peak and the sorrowful twilight of decline. Most importantly, it has become a unique meeting place for East and West. It is this encounter that lies at the heart of the famous novel "My Name Is Red," which takes place in sixteenth-century Istanbul. A passionate love story, a detective mystery, numerous tales, legends, and myths of the Ancient East artfully woven into the plot, an immersion into the secrets of Persian miniature painting, and elegant prose—all this makes the work a true masterpiece.
