Opis

"This book explores both existential and political themes in Orhan Pamuk's work, and investigates the apparent contradictions in a contemporary political arena where Islam and democracy are often seen as opposing and irreconcilable terms. Existential themes delve into literary nuances in Pamuk that discuss love, happiness, suffering, memory, and death"--
