«No solo constituye una fascinante proeza narrativa, es una lectura esencial para entender el mundo de hoy .-Margaret Atwood, The New York Times Book Review.

En mitad de una tormenta de nieve, Ka, un periodista turco reci n llegado de una larga estancia en Alemania, se desplaza a una remota ciudad en el nordeste de Turqu a. Tras el asesinato de su alcalde, Kars se ha convertido en un aut ntico polvor n donde las inminentes elecciones municipales, el temor al terrorismo kurdo y una oleada de suicidios mantienen a la poblaci n en vilo. Cuando la tormenta se recrudezca y la nieve impida las comunicaciones con el exterior, el peligro de que la tensi n estalle alcanzar cotas inimaginables.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Dread, yearning, identity, intrigue, the lethal chemistry between secular doubt and Islamic fanaticism-these are the elements that Orhan Pamuk anneals in this masterful, disquieting novel.

An exiled poet named Ka returns to Turkey and travels to the forlorn city of Kars. His ostensible purpose is to report on a wave of suicides among religious girls forbidden to wear their head-scarves. But Ka is also drawn by his memories of the radiant Ipek, now recently divorced. Amid blanketing snowfall and universal suspicion, Ka finds himself pursued by figures ranging from Ipek's ex-husband to a charismatic terrorist. A lost gift returns with ecstatic suddenness. A theatrical evening climaxes in a massacre. And finding god may be the prelude to losing everything else. Touching, slyly comic, and humming with cerebral suspense, Snow is of immense relevance to our present moment.
