Orhan Pamuk is the most famous Turkish writer and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Plague Nights" is a historical detective novel imbued with the atmosphere of an Eastern fairy tale; it combines the most contradictory themes: love and politics, religion and plague, East and West. The book is set on a small Mediterranean island, home to both Greek (Orthodox) and Turkish (Islamic) populations. The tranquility of this paradise is shattered by the arrival of a terrible disease—the plague. To suppress it, and on another, secret mission, an epidemiologist arrives on the island with his wife, the niece of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. However, not everyone on the island is willing to follow the doctor's orders and quarantine measures, for everything is in the hands of Allah, and resisting this will can be mortally dangerous.
