My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 'An extraordinary achievement.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'Fabulously rich, highly compelling.' INDEPENDENT 'Chock-full of sublimity and sin.' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Wonderful, dreamy, passionate and august.' SPECTATOR In 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? With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures. Orhan 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.
Orhan Pamuk is the author of many celebrated books of fiction, nonfiction, and photography. In 2003 he won the IMPAC prize for My Name is Red, and in 2006 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
