La Vida Nueva / the New Life Spanish, 1st. edition
Orhan Pamuk
2006 Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk delivers a new novel filled with headlong intensity and mesmerizing prose. Narrator Osman, a university student in Istanbul, lays a spell on the reader with the opening words: "I read a book one day and my whole life was changed." This book, which opens the door to the promise of a new life, affects Osman to the point that he abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family and embarks on a wondrous odyssey.
Description in Spanish: Hasta el inesperado momento en que abrio el libro, la vida de Osman se reducia a asistir a clase de Ingenieria y regresar a la casa que compartia con su madre. La lectura y un tiroteo en las calles nevadas de Estambul convirtieron al joven heroe en un viajero nocturno cuya existencia nunca volvio a ser la misma.
Osman recorre un inmenso pais acompanado de una mujer que, por azar, dejo el libro sobre la mesa de un cafe. Una mujer que ama a otro hombre. El mismo a quien estan buscando, el unico que comprende el poder del libro.
Orhan Pamuk, un autor comparado con Nabokov, Borges o Umberto Eco, nos aporta la creatividad y la vision de un hombre de hoy que vive y escribe en la frontera de dos mundos: Occidente y el Islam.
