About This Novel
A Nobel Prize winner for literature who is an excellent storyteller, Pamuk's novels best embody the unique narrative structure of modern novels. A story has multiple viewing angles and development contexts, which can not only meet the needs of simple story reading, but also satisfy more in-depth thinking and aesthetics. "My Name is Red" is the work that established Pamuk's status as a master in the international literary world and has won almost all important literary awards in the world. The best-selling novel in classic literature, "My Name is Red" is a best-selling work around the world. The Chinese version in 2006 is one of the few best-selling works among domestic Nobel Prize-winning works. The story takes place in the Ottoman Empire in the late 1590s, when the Sultan secretly commissioned a great book to celebrate his life and empire. Four outstanding miniaturists of the day gathered in Istanbul to paint a book that was said to shake up religion and society. At this time, the young man Hei, who had been away from home for twelve years for love, finally returned at the call of his lover's father. In addition to love, he was greeted by murders that followed, and the clues were hidden somewhere in the unfinished pictures in the book...

I'm like a pioneer. Explore quietly and wait for the life of this land to come
Books I read in 2014
I bought the physical book at that time, and I really like the writing technique. It is not only a suspense novel, but also a philosophical novel, and it is also a poem about love.
This is my first time reading a book that tells stories from multiple perspectives, and I find it very novel. Each character in the story has his own personality, and the portrayal of this personality is achieved through the character's feelings and thoughts about the things he encounters. And because it is done in a character confessional way, it feels more real and profound, just like reading a person's diary. My only regret is that my knowledge of the history and culture of Turkey is very limited. I have no contact with the paintings and poetry mentioned in the book, so I have no way of understanding some of the more abstract expressions and metaphors. All in all, it's a good work.
