  • "After reading a book, Osman, a young student, yearns for the new life it promises. He falls in love, abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family, and embarks on restless bus trips through the provinces. This is a wondrous odyssey, laying bare the rage of an arid heartland. In coffeehouses with black-and-white TV sets, on buses where passengers ride watching B-movies on flickering screens, in wrecks along the highway, in paranoid fictions with spies as punctual as watches and forsaken cultural objects instilled with poetry, the magic of Pamuk's creation comes alive."
  • "Het nieuwe leven. - Een jongeman onderneemt een zoektocht naar liefde en innerlijke idealen."
  • "A novel about Turkey, featuring a group of students infatuated with a book. One of them has even abandoned his studies to make copies by hand so others can share it. It is never made clear what the book contains, but while the young are enthusiastic, their elders think the contents are degenerate and another example of foreign influence ruining the country."

  • "La lectura de un libro cambia la vida del joven protagonista de esta novela, un estudiante Ilmado Osman, hasta alejarlo radicalmente de su anterior identidad. Poco después se enamorarà de la luminosa y esquiva Canan, prescenciarà el intento de asesinato de un pretendiente rival, y abandonarà a su familia para vagar sin rubmo por un paisaje nocturno de cafés y apocalípticas estaciones de autobús. El resultado es el maridaje fabuloso de un thriller intelectual y una sofist."
  • ""I read a book one day and my whole life was changed." That book leads the narrator, a young man named Osman, on a wild journey in the company of Janan, a mysterious young woman in search of her lover, Mehmet. He had actually managed to enter - and escape - the world of the book. In the course of their travels, Osman and Janan are involved in a bloody bus wreck from which they emerge with new identities; they meet several "false" Mehmets; Janan mysteriously vanishes; and Osman eventually encounters a family friend who may or may not be the author of the life-changing book and possibly of The New Life itself."
