  • "CLASSIC FICTION. "The Museum of Innocence"--Set in Istanbul between 1975 and today - tells the story of Kemal, the son of one of Istanbul's richest families, and of his obsessive love for a poor and distant relation, the beautiful Fusun, who is a shop-girl in a small boutique. The novel depicts a panoramic view of life in Istanbul as it chronicles this long, obsessive, love affair between Kemal and Fusun; and, Pamuk beautifully captures the identity crisis esperienced by Istanbul's upper classes who find themselves caught between traditional and westernised ways of being."
  • "In 1975 Istanbul, Kemal is engaged to a women of similar background when he chances upon a young shopgirl, Fusun, twelve years his junior. When she hears of his engagement, their incandescent liaison flickers and dies. He breaks off his engagement but loses Fusun to another man. Unwilling to let it go, he finds excuses to visit thier home for the next nine years, each time leaving with odd personal effects, possessions he will collect and cherish, in the private religion his adoration becomes. His hoard will make him famous - and a laughingstock - in Istanbul society. And when a final chance at happiness is ripped away, all that remains to him is his museum, this map of a society's rituals and mores, and of one man's broken heart."
  • ""La historia de amor entre Kemal, un joven miembro de la burguesía de Estambul, y su pariente lejana Füsun es una extraordinaria novela sobre la pasión rayana en la obsesión. Lo que comienza como una aventura inocente y desinhibida, evoluciona pronto hacia el amor sin límites, y después, cuando Füsun desaparece, hacia una profunda melancolía. En medio del vértigo que le producen sus sentimientos, Kemal no tarda mucho en descubrir el efecto calmante que tienen sobre él los objetos que alguna vez pasaron por las manos de ella. Así, como si se tratara de una terapia para la enfermedad que lo atormenta, Kemal se va haciendo de todos los objetos personales de Füsun que que se ponen a su alcance."--Back cover."
