Hasta el inesperado momento en que abrió el libro, la vida de Osman se reducía a asistir a clase de Ingeniería y regresar a la casa que compartía con su madre. La lectura y un tiroteo en las calles nevadas de Estambul convirtieron al joven héroe en un viajero nocturno cuya existencia nunca volvió a ser la misma. Osman recorre un inmenso país acompañado de una mujer que, por azar, dejó el libro sobre la mesa de un café. Una mujer que ama a otro hombre. El mismo a quien están buscando, el único que comprende el poder del libro. Orhan Pamuk, un autor comparado con Nabokov, Borges o Umberto Eco, nos aporta la creatividad y la visión de un hombre de hoy que vive y escribe en la frontera de dos mundos: Occidente y el Islam.

Work Description
Affected by a book he reads, Osman, a young student, yearns for the new life it promises. He falls in love, abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family, and embarks on restless bus trips through the provinces.
This is a wondrous odyssey, laying bare the rage of an arid heartland. In coffeehouses with black-and-white TV sets, on buses where passengers ride watching B-movies on flickering screens, in wrecks along the highway, in paranoid fictions with spies as punctual as watches and forsaken cultural objects instilled with poetry, the magic of Pamuk's creation comes alive.
