Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First American Edition. SPELLBINDING: STARTLING: DISQUIETING: STIRRING: ROMANTIC: MYSTERIOUS: SUBTLE: INTMATE: NUANCED: CLASSIC: REVEALING "map of a society's manners & mores, & of one man's broken heart": NEW First American Edition hardcover (Orig. October 2009) First Printing: NEW mylar-protected jacket w/ sharp NEW edges & corners BUT neatly price-clipped 1.0" on the diagonal at top-right inside-front flyleaf * 6.50" x 9.50" x 1.66", 1.00 kg, xvi+542 (558) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: A STIRRING exploration of the nature of ROMANTIC attachment & of the MYSTERIOUS allure of collecting, "The Museum of Innocence" also plumbs the depths of an Istanbul half Western & half traditional?its emergent modernity, its vast cultural history. This is Orhan Pamuk's greatest achievement: "It was the happiest moment of my life, though I didn't know it." So begins the new novel, his first since winning the Nobel Prize, from the universally acclaimed author of "Snow" & "My Name Is Red". It is 1975, a perfect spring in Istanbul. Kemal, scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, is about to become engaged to Sibel, daughter of another prominent family, when he encounters Füsun, a beautiful shop-girl & a distant relation. Once the long-lost cousins violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal & the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeosie?a world, as he lovingly describes it, w/ opulent parties & clubs, society gossip, restaurant rituals, picnics, & mansions on the Bosphorus, infused with the melancholy of decay?until finally he breaks off his engagement to Sibel. But his resolve comes too late. For 8 years Kemal will find excuses to visit another Istanbul, that of the impoverished back-streets where Füsun, her heart now hardened, lives w/ her parents, & where Kemal discovers the consolations of middle-class life at a dinner table in front of the television. His obsessive love will also take him to the demimonde of Istanbul film circles (where he promises to make Füsun a star), a scene of seedy bars, run-down cheap hotels, & small men w/ big dreams doomed to bitter failure. In his feckless pursuit, Kemal becomes a compulsive collector of objects that chronicle his lovelorn progress & his afflicted heart's reactions: anger & impatience, remorse & humiliation, deluded hopes of recovery, & daydreams that transform Istanbul into a cityscape of signs & specters of his beloved, from whom now he can extract only meaningful glances & stolen kisses in cars, movie houses, & shadowy corners of parks. A last change to realize his dream will come to an awful end before Kemal discovers that all he finally can possess, certainly & eternally, is the museum he has created of his collection, this map of a society's manners & mores, & of one man's broken heart. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A startling original. Every turn in the story seems fresh, disquieting, utterly unexpected. Spellbindingly told. The genius of Pamuk's novel is that although it can be read as a simple romance, it is a richly complicated work w/ subtle & intricate layers." -Marie Arana, The Washington Post "Intimate & nuanced. A classic spacious love story." -Pico Iyer, NYRB * ABOUT ORHAN PAMUK: ORHAN PAMUK won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006. His novel "My Name Is Red" won the 2003 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His work has been translated into more than sixty languages. "PAMUK has made his native city an indispensable literary territory, equal to Dostoyevsky'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. * HIGH PRAISE FOR ORPAN PAMUK: "Essential reading for our times: In Turkey, Pamuk is the equivalent of a rock star, guru, diagnostic specialist, & potential pundit. The Turkish public reads his novels as if taking its own pulse. -Margaret Atwood, NYTBR. Seller Inventory # 010162
