The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk

It is 1975, a perfect spring in Istanbul. Kemal and Sibel, children of two prominent families, are about to become engaged. But when Kemal encounters F sun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation, he becomes enthralled. And once they violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeoisie. In his pursuit of F sun over the next eight years, Kemal becomes a compulsive collector of objects that chronicle his lovelorn progress--amassing a museum that is both a map of a society and of his heart. Orhan Pamuk's first novel since winning the Nobel Prize is a stirring exploration of the nature of romance.

Ciudad y recuerdos (Literatura Random House, 2006) y La maleta de mi padre (Literatura Random House, 2007) y de la coleccion de ensayos Otros colores (Literatura Random House, 2008). Su exito mundial se desencadeno a partir de los elogios que John Updike dedico a la novela El castillo blanco. Desde entonces ha obtenido numerosos reconocimientos internacionales: el premio al Mejor Libro Extranjero en Francia, el Grinzane Cavour en Italia y el premio internacional IMPAC. Con la publicacion de Nieve, novela por la que en 2006 fue galardonado con el Priz Medicis Etranger, Orhan Pamuk paso a ser objetivo predilecto de los ataques de la prensa nacionalista truca. Con la obtencion del Nobel de Literatura en 2006 su proyeccion internacional se consolido definitivamente, y sus libros han sido traducidos a mas de cuarenta idiomas.
