Description
Snow is a novel by Orhan Pamuk, published in 2005 by Faber & Faber. The story follows Ka, a poet who returns to Istanbul for his mother's funeral and takes a commission to report on the municipal elections in Kars, a city near the Russian border. As tensions rise between political Islamists and the Turkish military, Ka finds himself at the centre of a complex web of politics, love, ethics, and religion.
The novel unfolds over a three-day period, following a set-piece military coup. Through Ka's journey, Pamuk explores the intricate relationships between poetry, politics, and identity, set against the backdrop of a snow-covered old-world city. As the truth about Ka and the city of Kars gradually emerges, the novel builds towards a profound and thought-provoking conclusion.
This thought-provoking novel is a powerful exploration of the human experience, delving into themes that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
