Set in Ottoman Istanbul, it combines a gripping murder mystery with a profound meditation on art, love, and cultural conflict, earning a 4.5-star rating from over 700 readers. ## Description The Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and the Ottoman Empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. In Istanbul at a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures . . . From Turkey's winner of the Nobel Prize and author of Istanbul and The Museum of Innocence, this novel is a thrilling murder mystery set amid the splendour of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, My Name is Red is also a stunning meditation on love, artistic devotion and the tensions between East and West. Review: Great novel! Hard to put down - I love reading Pamuk novels. They are fascinating. This is one of my favourites. Review: Great read - First book I've read by Orhan Pamuk and certainly it won't be the last! I think like Salman Rushdie, you need to understand the writer's psyche to enjoy books like this. That said, I found the Satanic Verses a tricky read but then again, I've been told by Muslims you need to understand the Koran. I am not religious so I'm not going to comment on that. My Name Is Red is not like the Satanic Verses so let's clear that up. It is in its entirety a great read. I read over the Christmas period and I was literally devouring great swathes of it at any time. When I finished it I gave it to my brother who wouldn't really read this sort of book but even though he's older, he's now prone to experiment with his reading. I haven't heard back from him on it. He may not read it for months! I love historical fiction and Orhan Pamuk does it as good as any one else. Umberto Eco springs to mind while I read this. ## Features - Binding : paperback - Pages : 688 - Publisher : Faber & Faber UK ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #103,608 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,811 in Genre Fiction #4,047 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #4,562 in Comic Books & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 738 Reviews | ## Images ![My Name is Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yuHDlcbxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great novel!

Aber da der Prof. von Harvard dieses Werk zu einem Weltliteratur zählt, gehe ich mal davon aus, dass es Wert ist reinzuschauen. Content: Since the Prof. in Harvard dealt with this Book as World-Literature, I think it is worth to look at it --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/255735882-my-name-is-red](https://www.desertcart.at/products/255735882-my-name-is-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
