It can be argued that the economy, which is the main inspiration of human attitudes and behaviours, contrary to the common belief, is also the main driver of the majority of people, their beliefs and thoughts, as well as the determinant of the quality of their personality and identity.Although this form of relationship is constantly elaborated in the novel, which examines people in all aspects, it is a subject that is always ignored in literary works.When viewed by different disciplines, the unrivalled perspective of the novel genre with unlimited narrative possibilities becomes more visible. Orhan Pamuk, the only Nobel laureate writer of the Turkish novel, (1952-) and as a child of a rich family of Istanbul origin, is an author who deals with the problems of fiction on his works in his novels focusing on people from different parts of this city in the focus of different problems, and in this respect, closely connected with the world novel.
