BOOK DESCRIPTION: The year is 1992 and Ka, a poet and political exile, returns to Turkey as a journalist, assigned to write an investigative piece about troubling events in the small and mysterious city of Kars near the Armenian border. 'Snow' angered Islamists and westernised Turks alike when it came out in Turkey in early 2002 - and promptly sold more than 100,000 copies. A spectacular tour de force, it evokes the spiritual fragility of the non-western world, its ambivalence about the godless West, and its fury. Orhan Pamuk's work has been translated into more than forty languages. He is the recipient of numerous national and international literary awards and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on October 12, 2006. . As New. Original Wraps. First Edition, First Impression. 2004. 23 x 15 Cms (9" x 6").
