“Dazzling . . . Modern thriller, Ramayan epic, courtroom drama, slapstick comedy, wartime adventure, political satire, village legend—they’re all blended here magnificently.”—The Washington Post Book World “Absorbing . . . Everywhere [Rushdie] takes us there is both love and war, in strange and terrifying combinations, painted in swaying, swirling, world-eating prose that annihilates the borders between East and West, love and hate, private lives and the history they make.”—Time This is the story of Maximilian Ophuls, America’ s counterterrorism chief, one of the makers of the modern world; his Kashmiri Muslim driver and subsequent killer, a mysterious figure who calls himself Shalimar the clown; Max’s illegitimate daughter India; and a woman who links them, whose revelation finally explains them all. It is an epic narrative that moves from California to Kashmir, France, and England, and back to California again. Along the way there are tales of princesses lured from their homes by demons, legends of kings forced to defend their kingdoms against evil. And there is always love, gained and lost, uncommonly beautiful and mortally dangerous.

Los Angeles, 1991. Maximilien Ophuls, notable américain, ex-ambassadeur des Etats-Unis en Inde, devenu chef de la lutte antiterroriste en Amérique, est égorgé en plein jour, devant chez sa fille illégitime India. Il a été abattu par son chauffeur cachemiri, un mystérieux personnage se faisant appeler Shalimar le clown. Tout semble d'abord indiquer un assassinat politique, mais il s'agit en fait d'un crime passionnel d'une nature très spéciale. Voici l'histoire de Maximilien, de son assassin et de sa fille - ainsi que d'un quatrième personnage, la femme qui unit leurs destins. L'histoire d'un amour profond qui connaît une fin tragique, au fil d'une épopée qui s'étend de la Californie à la France sous l'Occupation, l'Angleterre et, surtout, le Cachemire... Au cœur de ce récit se trouve un paradis terrestre peuplé de pêchers et d'abeilles, de montagnes et de lacs, de femmes aux yeux couleur d'émeraude et d'hommes assassins : un paradis détruit, anéanti plutôt que perdu. Couvrant le globe et traversant l'Histoire, le nouveau récit de Salman Rushdie séduit dès les premières pages et capte l'esprit d'une époque bouleversée et bouleversante.

A tall, yellow-haired young European traveller calling himself “Mogor dell’Amore,” the Mughal of Love, arrives at the court of the real Grand Mughal, the Emperor Akbar, with a tale to tell that begins to obsess the whole imperial capital. The stranger claims to be the child of a lost Mughal princess, the youngest sister of Akbar’s grandfather Babar: Qara Köz, ‘Lady Black Eyes’, a great beauty believed to possess powers of enchantment and sorcery, who is taken captive first by an Uzbeg warlord, then by the Shah of Persia, and finally becomes the lover of a certain Argalia, a Florentine soldier of fortune, commander of the armies of the Ottoman Sultan. When Argalia returns home with his Mughal mistress the city is mesmerised by her presence, and much trouble ensues. The Enchantress of Florence is a love story and a mystery – the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man’s world. It brings together two cities that barely know each other – the hedonistic Mughal capital, in which the brilliant emperor wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire and the treachery of sons, and the equally sensual Florentine world of powerful courtesans, humanist philosophy and inhuman torture, where Argalia’s boyhood friend ‘il Machia’ – Niccolò Machiavelli – is learning, the hard way, about the true brutality of power. These two worlds, so far apart, turn out to be uncannily alike, and the enchantments of women hold sway over them both. But is Mogor’s story true? And if so, then what happened to the lost princess? And if he’s a liar, must he die?
