1/4 Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st US Edition; First Printing. A lovely first American edition/first printing in Fine condition in alike dust-jacket. SIGNED and dated by author Orhan Pamuk directly on the title page; The author's third book. Affected by a book he reads, Osman, a young student, is afflicted with wanderlust. Similar in theme to Kerouac's masterpiece On the Road. Orhan Pamuk won the Nobel Prize in 2006 and, at the time of publication, this book, The New Life, was the fastest selling novel of all time in the author's native Turkey; 8vo; [6], [1-3] 4-296 [297-8] pages; Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 296 pages. Published in 1997. The author's third novel to be translated into English. One of the greatest novels of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Orhan Pamuk's "Yeni Hayat" in a felicitous English translation. A masterpiece from a writer who seems incapable of writing a bad book. The single most successful modern novel to be published in Turkey. The title refers to the way a book transforms the protagonist's life in a magical way, a metaphor for the power of reading to change lives. Pamuk's books are censored and often banned outright in his native Turkey, a culture that has to strike a delicate balance between (Eastern) Islam and (Western) secularism. The threat to one's freedom makes writing even more urgent and turns talented writers into great ones. His most passionate critic/admirer in America, the late great novelist John Updike, chose "Snow" as the best novel of the year 2004, bar none. "I read a book one day and my whole life was changed" (Orhan Pamuk). An absolute "must-have" title for Orhan Pamuk collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the year of publication) in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by the author: "1997 Orhan Pamuk". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed and publication-year dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Signed copies of Pamuk's books are scarce and as such, have always been collectible. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 2003 for "My Name Is Red". Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006, the first Turkish writer to be so deservedly honored. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy.
