The Satanic Verses

Magical realism clashes with contemporary controversies.

"The Satanic Verses" might intrigue you if you're into narratives that blend the fantastical with the real, all while stirring a bit of controversy. Rushdie's knack for intertwining myth with modernity creates a tapestry that's both thought-provoking and aesthetically rich. It's a book that doesn't shy away from challenging your beliefs, perfect for the reader who enjoys intellectual stimulation wrapped in lyrical prose.

  • Booker Prize Nominee (1988)
  • Whitbread Award for Novel (1988)
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Just before dawn one winter’s morning, a hijacked aeroplane 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? And what will be the outcome of their final confrontation?
