Description

Orhan Pamuk’s Nights of Plague is a sweeping historical novel set in 1901 on the fictional island of Mingheria, located in the eastern Mediterranean. When a deadly plague spreads across the island, it plunges into chaos, forcing its diverse population to confront issues of identity, governance, and survival. Against this backdrop, the novel follows an Ottoman quarantine officer and his wife as they navigate political intrigue, personal challenges, and the complexities of a divided society. Pamuk masterfully blends history, politics, and human drama in a richly textured narrative that examines the interplay between epidemics and the human condition.
