Orhan Pamuk is a well-known Turkish writer with numerous national and international awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature for “the search for the soul of his melancholic city.”
The novel “The Museum of Innocence” is based on a love story between a privileged man on the verge of a profitable engagement and the childhood friend he unexpectedly meets—an experience carefully preserved in a special museum created “not to walk through and look at things, but to feel and live.”
