Abstract
Silent House by Orhan Pamuk is set in a small
Turkish town during the 1980s. It follows three generations of the Özkan family, focusing on the protagonist Hasan, a young boy. The story takes
place in the family’s ancestral house and explores their personal struggles and hidden secrets against the backdrop of political unrest in
Turkey. As the family members with different ideologies gather, tensions rise, reflecting the societal divide. The narrative delves into themes of love, memory, and the subjective nature of truth. Through vivid descriptions and introspective storytelling, Pamuk creates a haunting atmosphere and provides a profound exploration of human experience.
