Orhan Pamuk is Turkey's most famous writer, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

"Plague Nights" not only immerses the reader in the distant past, but also ruthlessly illuminates the present day. The setting of the book is a small Mediterranean island with both Greek (Orthodox) and Turkish (Islamic) populations. The tranquil life of the paradise is disrupted with the arrival of a terrible disease, the plague. For its suppression, and also with another, secret mission on the island arrives a doctor-epidemiologist with his wife, the niece of Sultan Abdul-Hamid II. However, not everyone on the island is ready to follow the doctor's orders and quarantine measures, because everything is the will of Allah and it can be deadly to resist this will....
