Dalla scomparsa del bisnonno Francisco, inghiottito dalla laguna che circonda la sua proprietà, e dal conflitto di famiglia che ne deriva, un'epica battaglia conclusa con il rogo delle piantagioni sul Monte delle Spezie, quella dei da Gama è una famiglia destinata a rimanere divisa, non tanto da cupidigie e segreti, quanto da sacchi e pepe e linee tracciate col gesso sui pavimenti di casa, come frontiere. Una lotta in cui sono le donne le vere protagoniste, e le loro passioni.

In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga - literally 'victory city' - the wonder of the world.

Sam DuChamp, un mediocre scrittore di spy stories, ispirandosi al classico di Cervantes crea un personaggio di nome Quichotte: un gentile commesso viaggiatore ossessionato dalla televisione che si innamora in modo impossibile di una star della TV. Insieme al figlio (immaginario), Sancho, Quichotte si lancia in un picaresco viaggio attraverso tutta l'America per mostrarsi degno della mano della amata, e fronteggia coraggiosamente i tragicomici pericoli di un'epoca in cui "tutto può succedere".

Gathering pieces written between 2003 and 2020, including several never previously published, Languages of Truth chronicles a period of momentous cultural shifts. Across a wide variety of subjects, Rushdie delves into the nature of storytelling as a deeply human need, and what emerges is a love letter to literature itself. Throughout, Rushdie shares his personal encounters, on the page and in person, with storytellers from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Samuel Beckett, Eudora Welty, and Toni Morrison, and revels in the creative lines that can join art and life.

Nero Golden kommt aus einem Land, dessen Namen er nie wieder hören wollte, seit er mit seinen drei Söhnen vor ein paar Jahren nach New York gezogen ist. Der junge Filmemacher René ist fasziniert von der Familie und gerät in ihren Bann. Er hat Zugang zu der prächtigen Welt der Goldens - und wird Zeuge davon, wie das Reich des alten Golden zerfällt. Salman Rushdie erfasst den irritierenden Zeitgeist und zeichnet mit größter Erzähllust ein genaues Bild unserer heutigen Welt.

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is Salman Rushdie's boldest imaginative act, a vision of our shaken, mutating times, and a brilliant remaking of the Orpheus myth. Rushdie is also the author of Midnight's Children and The Satanic Verses.

Mr. Rushdie, the author of Midnight's Children, The Satanic Verses and The Ground Beneath Her Feet, reads from his newest novel, Shalimar the Clown.

"Quichotte" er en stort anlagt, episk fortælling om længslen efter kærlighed og familieliv. Det er en satirisk pastiche over Miguel de Cervantes klassiker, "Don Quixote", og samtidig et spiddende, foruroligende og humoristisk portræt af samtidens USA. Ismail Smile (aka Quichotte) er omrejsende sælger i sin fætters medicinalfirma og besat af TV - og så er han den mislykkede spionforfatter Sam DuChamps kreation. I mr. Smiles ensomme liv er hans bil hans hjem og TV’et hans eneste selskab: Indtil han forelsker sig i TV-stjernen miss Salma R.

Salman Rushdies Quichotte ist ein Reisender, der besessen ist von der "unwirklichen Wirklichkeit" des Fernsehens. Er will das Herz der Königin der Talkshows erobern und begibt sich auf eine Reise quer durch Amerika, um sich ihrer als würdig zu erweisen; auf dem Beifahrersitz, Sancho, der Sohn, den er sich immer gewünscht hat. Rushdie nimmt Quichottes Abenteuer mit in unsere verrückte Gegenwart.

Über der englischen Küste wird ein Flugzeug in die Luft gesprengt. Die einzigen Überlebenden dieses Terroranschlags sind Gibril Farishta und Saladin Chamcha, zwei indische Schauspieler, die buchstäblich vom Himmel fallen und wie durch ein Wunder unversehrt bleiben. Doch nach dem Absturz gehen seltsame Dinge mit ihnen vor: Der Muslim Gibril zeigt immer mehr Ähnlichkeit mit dem Erzengel Gabriel, während sich Saladin, der stets seine Herkunft verleugnete, zu einem Abbild des Teufels entwickelt.

Drawing from two political and several literary homelands, this collection presents a remarkable series of trenchant essays, demonstrating the full range and force of Salman Rushdie's remarkable imaginative and observational powers. 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-20th century race, religion and politics.

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.
