Assim, surgiram novos temas na literatura e nos media, como o fundamentalismo, o extremismo e o terrorismo. Este livro investiga a quest o do fundamentalismo em duas obras liter rias modernas. A primeira   Snow, do turco Orhan Pamuk, que esteve na origem da atribui  o do Pr mio Nobel da Literatura em 2006 e   considerado um dos melhores romances que tratou e recapitulou as actuais circunst ncias religiosas, pol ticas e culturais da Turquia moderna.
