Satansverserna

Gibril Farishta är den indiska filmindustrins mest skandalomsusade stjärna. Saladin Chamcha är en berömd röstimitatör. Tillsammans sitter de på ett flygplan på väg till England när planet plötsligt kapas, sprängs och störtar. Som ett mirakel överlever de båda ett fritt fall från tiotusen meters höjd, och knappt har de stigit iland på den engelska kusten förrän de förvandlas till änglar - en god och en ond.
I Thatchers England möts de av invandrarhat, polisbrutalitet och gatuvåld, men även av sönderslitande kärlekshistorier och svartsjukedramer. Och kampen mellan gott och ont går vidare, i en värld full av tv-stjärnor, prostituerade, mördare och svindlare.
Det är sällan vår tids historia skrivs framför våra ögon. Men utan tvekan är detta fallet med Salman Rushdies Satansverserna.

Efter att hon bevittnat sin mors död blir den nioåriga Pampa Kampana tagen i besittning av en gudinna som talar genom henne. Gudinnan ger flickan magiska krafter och berättar för henne att hon kommer att spela en central roll för uppkomsten av en mäktig stad vid namn Bisnaga – ”segerstaden”. Pampa Kampana ger med sitt berättande staden liv, och under de kommande seklerna blir hennes öde sammanflätat med Bisnaga, men staden vilar på bräcklig grund. Med "Segerstaden" har Salman Rushdie skapat en episk saga om berättandets magiska kraft och maktens oändliga hybris.

Question: What is the opposite of faith? Not disbelief. Too final, certain, closed. Itself a kind of belief. Doubt.Discover Salman Rushdie’s critically acclaimed magical realist study of good and evil.'A masterpiece' Sunday TimesJust before dawn one winter's morning, a plane blows apart high above the English Channel and two figures tumble, clutched in an embrace, towards the sea: Gibreel Farishta, India's legendary movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices.Washed up, alive, on an English beach, their survival is a miracle. But there is a price to pay. Gibreel and Saladin have been chosen as opponents in the eternal wrestling match between Good and Evil. But chosen by whom? And which is which?

The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie's unforgettable epic.Omar Khayyam Shakil had three mothers who shared everything. They shared the symptoms of pregnancy; they shared the son that they all claim to have borne on the same night. Raised at their six breasts, Omar's mothers teach him to live a life without shame. And it is training that proves very useful when he leaves his mothers' fortress and makes the fateful mistake of falling in love. For he finds himself an unwitting player in an ongoing duel between the families of two men - one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure - living in a world caught between honour and humiliation, where a moment of shame could prove fatal.'Shame is every bit as good as Midnight's Children. It is a pitch-black comedy of public life and historical imperatives' The Times

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From internationally renowned, award-winning author Salman Rushdie, a spellbinding exploration of life, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life“An inventive and engrossing collection of stories which, though death-tinged, are never doom-laden. With luck this master writer has more tales to tell.”—Los Angeles TimesA NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEARRushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life’s final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work—India, England, and America—and feature an unforgettable cast of characters.“In the South” introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men—Junior and Senior—and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In “The Musician of Kahani,” a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight’s Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In “Late,” the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. “Oklahoma” plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And “The Old Man in the Piazza” is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech.Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our “eleventh hour” in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don’t know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

If old age was thought of as an evening, ending in midnight oblivion, they were well into the eleventh hour.Two quarrelsome old men in Chennai, India, experience private tragedy against the backdrop of national calamity. Revisiting the Bombay neighbourhood of Midnight's Children, a magical musician is unhappily married to a multibillionaire. In an English college, an undead academic can't rest until he avenges his former tormentor.Following Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder, Salman Rushdie's new fiction moves between the places he has grown up in, inhabited, explored, and left. In doing so, he asks fundamental questions we all one day face. How does one deal with, accommodate, or rail against entering the eleventh hour, the final stage of your life? How can you bid farewell to the places you have made home?The Eleventh Hour is the magisterial new work from one of our greatest living writers. It speaks deeply to what Salman Rushdie has come from and through, and strikes into the heart of our fractious times.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, a searing, deeply personal account of enduring—and surviving—an attempt on his life thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against himA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Time, NPR, Town & Country, New York Post, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus ReviewsOn the morning of August 12, 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black—black clothes, black mask—rushed down the aisle toward him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it’s you. Here you are. What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond. Now, for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, Rushdie relives the traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey toward physical recovery and the healing that was made possible by the love and support of his wife, Eliza, his family, his army of doctors and physical therapists, and his community of readers worldwide. Knife is Rushdie at the peak of his powers, writing with urgency, with gravity, with unflinching honesty. It is also a deeply moving reminder of literature’s capacity to make sense of the unthinkable, an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art—and finding the strength to stand up again.

Indien blir självständigt i augusti 1947. Den natten föds de 1 001 midnattsbarnen. De är länkade vid historien, fångar landets öde.
De har också magiska gåvor.
Saleem Sinai, född i tolvslagets dovt darrande sekund, kan avläsa alla tankar, från makthavarna till tiggarna i slummen. Med sin stora känsliga näsa har han ett olycksbådande väderkorn för människors nycker och samhällets strömkantringar. Kring denne bisarre hjälte växer en myllrande rik och sagoskimrande skröna fram, ett epos om Indiens våldsamma historia i en tid av svek, förtryck och förlorade illusioner.
Midnattsbarnen kom ut 1980 och blev srs stora genombrott, den roman som lade grunden till hans världsrykte. När den nu kommer i en efterlängtad nyutgåva är det i allra högsta grad som en modern klassiker!

En natt, efter ett gräl, finner han sig stå lutad över sin hustru och treårige son, färdig att stöta en kniv i dem. Han har blivit farlig för sin egen familj, och ser ingen annan utväg än att fly. Med en desperat önskan att bli renad, uppslukad, beger han sig till ursinnets hemstad - New York...

"Handlaget är en mästares, och Salman Rushdies röst en av de viktigaste i dagens litteratur." Svenska Dagbladet

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE****SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**Booker Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie has created a dazzling Don Quixote for the modern age.Inspired by the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed with television, who falls in impossible love with the TV star Salman R. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where 'Anything-Can-Happen'. Meanwhile his creator, in a midlife crisis, has equally urgent challenges of his own.Just as Cervantes wrote Don Quixote to satirise the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse, with the kind of storytelling magic that is the hallmark of his work. The fully realised lives of DuChamp and Quichotte intertwine in a profoundly human quest for love and a wickedly entertaining portrait of an age in which fact is so often indiscernible from fiction.

The iconic masterpiece of India that introduced the world to “a glittering novelist—one with startling imaginative and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling” (The New Yorker)WINNER OF THE BEST OF THE BOOKERS • SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time • The fortieth anniversary edition, featuring a new introduction by the author Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Forty years after its publication, Midnight’s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.

I Kniv berättar han för första gången i detalj om det fruktansvärda dådet, men påminner oss också om hur konsten kan hjälpa oss att förstå det otänkbara. Kniv är en gripande och personlig skildring av livet efter attacken och samtidigt ett resonemang om sorgen, kärleken, konsten och om vikten av att hitta styrkan att resa sig ännu

With candour, eloquence and indignation he carefully examines an expanse of topics; including the politics of India and Pakistan, censorship, the Labour Party, Palestinian identity, contemporary film and late-twentieth century race, religion and politics. Elsewhere he trains his eye on literature and fellow writers, from Julian Barnes on love to the politics of George Orwell's 'Inside the Whale', providing fresh insight on Kipling, V.S.

An extraordinary and vivid introduction to the country of Nicaragua and its politics from the Booker-winning author of Midnight’s Children.In this brilliantly focused and haunting portrait of the people, the politics, the land, and the poetry of Nicaragua, Salman Rushdie brings to the forefront the palpable human facts of a country in the midst of revolution.Rushdie went to Nicaragua in 1986. What he discovered was overwhelming: a land of difficult, often beautiful contradictions, of strange heroes and warrior-poets. Rushdie came to know an enormous range of people, from the foreign minister, a priest, to the midwife who kept a pet cow in her living room.His perceptions always heightened by his sensitivity and his unique flair for language, in The Jaguar Smile, Rushdie brings us the true Nicaragua, where nothing is simple, everything is contested, and life-or-death struggles are an everyday occurrence.‘Stirring and original’ New York Times‘A masterpiece of sympathetic yet critical reporting’ Edward Said

The narration is fleet of foot, always one step ahead of the reader—somewhere between a pinball machine and a three-dimensional game of snakes and ladders. . . . This novel can fly, it can float, it’s anecdotal, effervescent, charming, and a jolly good story to boot.”—The Sunday Times “Quichotte [is] an updating of Cervantes’s story that proves to be an equally complicated literary encounter, jumbling together a chivalric quest, a satire on Trump’s America and a whole lot of postmodern playfulness in a novel that is as sharp as a flick-knife and as clever as a barrel of monkeys. . . .

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “[A] torrent of endlessly inventive prose, by turns comic and enraged, embracing life in all its contradictions. In this spectacular novel, verbal pyrotechnics barely outshine its psychological truths.”—NewsdayWinner of the Whitbread PrizeOne of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanizing book. Set in a modern world filled with both mayhem and miracles, the story begins with a bang: the terrorist bombing of a London-bound jet in midflight. Two Indian actors of opposing sensibilities fall to earth, transformed into living symbols of what is angelic and evil. This is just the initial act in a magnificent odyssey that seamlessly merges the actual with the imagined. A book whose importance is eclipsed only by its quality, The Satanic Verses is a key work of our times.Praise for The Satanic Verses“Rushdie is a storyteller of prodigious powers, able to conjure up whole geographies, causalities, climates, creatures, customs, out of thin air.”—The New York Times Book Review“Exhilarating, populous, loquacious, sometimes hilarious, extraordinary . . . a roller-coaster ride over a vast landscape of the imagination.”—The Guardian (London)“A novel of metamorphoses, hauntings, memories, hallucinations, revelations, advertising jingles, and jokes. Rushdie has the power of description, and we succumb.”—The Times (London)

Harun och Sagornas Hav handlar med modern inramning om en indisk sagoberättare som förlorat sin inspiration sedan hans fru avvikit med en älskare. Harun, sonen i familjen ger sig ut i världen för att återvinna sin fars förlorade sagoskatt och får vara med om en rad fantastiska äventyr på jordens andra, osynliga måne från vars "sagohav" alla sagor kommer. Här är familjekrisen förvandlad till ett storkrig mellan två makter, historieberättarna och tillatigarna. De som vill göra slut på allt historieberättande förefaller oslagbara tills Harun med sin starka kärlek till fadern skänker såväl denna som alla andra sagor ett gott och lyckligt slut.
Harun och Sagornas Hav är en spännande, medryckande vuxensaga, lika ordförälskad som Rushdies historier brukar vara, full av oväntade vändningar och en hel del lagom outredda berättelsetrådar som vi inte kan låta bli att nysta vidare på.

Som ett mirakel överlever de båda ett fritt fall från tiotusen meters höjd, och knappt har de stigit iland på den engelska kusten förrän de förvandlas till änglar - en god och en ond.
I Thatchers England möts de av invandrarhat, polisbrutalitet och gatuvåld, men även av sönderslitande kärlekshistorier och svartsjukedramer. Och kampen mellan gott och ont går vidare, i en värld full av tv-stjärnor, prostituerade, mördare och svindlare.

Los Angeles, 1991. Diplomaten Maximilian Ophuls huggs ihjäl mitt på ljusa dagen på tröskeln till sin dotter Indias hus. Han mördas av sin kashmiriske chaufför, en mystisk figur som kallar sig själv Clownen Shalimar. Ophuls var en motståndshjälte från andra världskriget, en intellektuell gigant och tillika en man med stor erotisk dragningskraft, före detta amerikansk ambassadör i Indien och sedermera ledare för Amerikas terroristbekämpning. Dådet ser ut som ett politiskt mord men visar sig vara i högsta grad personligt. Detta är historien om Max, hans mördare och hans dotter och en fjärde person, kvinnan som utgör länken mellan dem alla och vars historia förklarar allt. Berättelsen om en djup kärlek som sviks för en ytlig affär är en episk saga som rör sig från Kalifornien till Frankrike, till England, och framför allt, Kashmir. Den omstridda regionen som var ett jordiskt paradis av persikolundar och honungsbin, av berg och sjöar, av grönögda kvinnor och mordiska män; ett förlorat paradis som förstörts av människan.Clownen Shalimar är en vindlande, föränderlig saga där ingenting är beständigt, likväl hänger allt samman. Salman Rushdies nya roman spänner över hela jorden och förgrenar sig genom historien, och fångar både läsarens hjärta och en plågad tidsålders själ.Pressröster om den engelska utgåvan:Vass satir, flammande patos, romantisk myt, cynisk kvickhet, klarögd analys, stilistisk elegans, konstruktiv spänning ExpressenClownen Shalimar är Rushdies mest tilltalande bok sedan Midnattsbarnen. Det är en klagosång och en kärlekshistoria. Rushdie brottas fantasifullt med chocken efter 11 september och de krig som följt på det. ObserverDet finns mycket att njuta av i denna roman, en karakteristiskt vågad gång över fiktionens spända lina, sträckt mellan Himalaya och Laurel Canyons. The Daily Telegraph
