'Rushdie's most engaging book since Midnight's Children' Observer Shalimar the Clown was once a figure full of love and laughter. His skill as a tightrope walker was legendary in his native home of Kashmir. But fate has played him cruelly, torn him away from his beloved home and brought him to Los Angeles, where he works as a chauffeur. One morning he gets up, goes to work, and kills his employer, America's former counter-terrorist chief Maximilian Ophuls, in view of the victim's illegitimate daughter, India. The killing has its roots halfway across the globe, back in Kashmir, a ruined paradise not so much lost as shattered. And gradually it emerges that beyond this unholy trinity of Max, India and Shalimar, lurks a fourth, shadowy figure, one who binds them all together. 'This is Rushdie at his most flamboyant best' Financial Times

Discover this magnificent magical novel from the Booker-prize winning author of Midnight's Children. When a young European traveller arrives at Sikri, the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar, the tale he spins brings the whole imperial capital to the brink of obsession. He calls himself 'Mogor dell'Amore', the Mughal of Love, and claims to be the son of a lost princess, whose name and very existence has been erased from the country's history: Qara Köz, or 'Lady Black Eyes'. Lady Black Eyes is a fabled beauty believed to possess great powers of enchantment and sorcery. After a series of abductions by besotted warlords, she finds herself carried to Machiavellian Florence. In her attempts to command her own destiny in a world ruled by men, Lady Black Eyes brings together the two great cities of sensual Florence and hedonistic Sikri, so far apart and yet so alike, and two worlds become dangerously entwined. 'Vintage Rushdie...reminds us, in case we may have forgotten, that he can tell a story ...better than anyone else in the language' Sunday Telegraph

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.

Exploring Magic Realism In Salman Rushdie S Fiction written by Ursula Kluwick and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-02-28 with Literary Criticism categories.
Kluwick breaks new ground in this book, moving away from Rushdie studies that focus on his status as postcolonial or postmodern, and instead considering the significance of magic realism in his fiction. Rushdie’s magic realism, in fact, lies at the heart of his engagement with the post/colonial. In a departure from conventional descriptions of magic realism—based primarily on the Latin-American tradition—Kluwick here proposes an alternative definition, allowing for a more accurate description of the form. She argues that it is disharmony, rather than harmony, that is decisive: that the incompatibility of the realist and the supernatural needs to be recognized as a driving force in Rushdie’s fiction. In its rigorous analysis of this Rushdian magic realism, this book considers the entire corpus—Midnight’s Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, The Moor’s Last Sigh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Shalimar the Clown, and The Enchantress of Florence. This study is the first of its kind to do so.

An astounding, intense novel by the Booker-prize winning author of Midnight’s Children. In the summer of 2000 New York is a city living at breakneck speed in an age of unprecedented decadence. Into this tumultuous city arrives Malik Solanka. His life has been a sequence of exits. He has left in his wake his country, family, not one but two wives, and now a child. But as his latest marriage disintegrates and the fury builds within him he fears he will become dangerous to those he loves. And so he steps out of his life once again and begins a new one in New York. But New York is a city boiling with fury. Around Malik cab drivers spout obscenities, a serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete, and the petty spats and bone-deep resentments of the metropolis threaten to engulf him, as his own thoughts, emotions and desires reach breaking point. ‘Both a howl of rage and a love letter... Rushdie is a very great novelist - our greatest’ Guardian
