Immerse yourself in 'Nits de Pesta', a novel by the renowned author Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Set in the spring of 1901, the story unfolds on the island of Minguer, the 29th province of the Ottoman Empire, where a plague epidemic wreaks havoc. Sultan Abdülhamit sends chemist Bonkowski Pasha and young doctor Nuri, accompanied by his wife Pakize Sultan, to control the situation. On the island, they cross paths with Ottoman officer Major Kâmil, local Zeynep, Governor Sami Pasha, and his lover Marika. The novel narrates the relationships between these characters and their struggle against the epidemic, local traditions, and the tensions that arise in the face of the threat of death.
