The Museum of Innocence is Pamuk's first novel since he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006. A profoundly stirring exploration of the nature of romantic attachment and of the mysterious allure of collecting, the novel plumbs the depths of an Istanbul half Western and half traditional Islamic, its emergent modernity, its vast and dramatic cultural history. This is clearly the greatest achievement so far by the universally acclaimed Turkish author of The Black Book, Snow, Istanbul, and My Name Is Red, plus four other novels and the superb collection of essays, Other Colors. His work has been translated into more than fifty languages, and has won many international honors.

"Orhan Pamuk has made his native city an indispensable literary territory, equal to Dostoevsky's St. Petersburg, Joyce's Dublin, or Proust's Paris-a place where readers from all corners of the world can live another life, just as credible as their own."
- from the Nobel Presentation Speech

"Pamuk has taken as his great subject the tensions between West and East, religious and secular, in his native Turkey. He writes of these crucial contemporary issues with the acuity and depth of a Dostoevsky or Tolstoy."
