From ''Best of the Booker'' winner Salman Rushdie, an incisive and inspiring collection of non-fiction essays, criticism and speeches that takes readers on a thrilling journey through the evolution of language and culture.''One of the greatest writers of our age'' Neil GaimanAcross 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, he shares his personal encounters, on the page and in person, with storytellers from Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and revels in the creative lines that can join art and life. Rushdie considers, too, the nature of truth and looks afresh at migration, multiculturalism and censorship.''Essential reading...

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.

Salman Rushdie, a self-described ‘emigrant from one place and a newcomer in two’, explores the true meaning of home. Writing with insight, passion and humour, he looks at what it means to belong, whether roots are real and homelands imaginary, what it is like to reconfigure your past from fragments of memory and what happens when East meets West.

#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 ...

The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric 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

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.

„Když Christopher Hitchens dopsal svou knihu Bůh není veliký, poslal mi ji, abych si ji přečetl, a já mu řekl, jen napůl v žertu, že má v názvu jedno slovo navíc; bylo by užitečné, kdyby vymazal ‚veliký‘.“ Touto větou otevírá známý spisovatel esej Instinkt svobody. V kolekci brilantně napsaných textů se Rushdie profiluje nejen jako oddaný obhájce svobody slova a umělecké výpovědi, ale především jako znalec světového písemnictví a kultury. Věnuje se velkým literátům 20. století z rodu Kurta Vonneguta nebo Samuela Becketta, srovnává Shakespearovo mistrovství se Cervantesovým, na příkladu Aje Wej-weje, Pussy Riot či Roberta Saviana ukazuje, jakou roli hraje v tvorbě odvaha. Nechybí ani příspěvky, které se věnují dopadení bin Ládina nebo koronavirové pandemii. Rushdie vždy píše s vášnivým zaujetím pro styl, ve kterém se prolíná přesnost pozorování s bohatou obrazností. A se smyslem pro pravdu, bez ohledu na to, jak riskantní může být.

''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.

Když je na prahu losangeleského domu své dcery zavražděn někdejší hrdina protinacistického odboje a velvyslanec USA v Indii Maximilian Ophuls, vše nasvědčuje politickému pozadí činu, jehož pachatelem je Ophulsův osobní řidič "klaun Šalimar", muslimský rodák z Kašmíru. Navzdory Ophulsově významné roli v protiteroristických aktivitách americké vlády se však ukáže, že motivy vraždy jsou výhradně osobního rázu: jejich ztělesněním je čtvrtá z klíčových postav, jejíž osud, úzce spojující oba muže, je spolu s nedávnou tragickou historií Kašmíru klíčem k celému příběhu. Tak jako ve svých předchozích knihách, i v Klaunu Šalimarovi vede Rushdie široce rozklenutý románový děj s charakteristickou suverenitou a jazykovou invencí až k samému závěru své "písně smutku i naděje", reagující na neklidnou tvář dnešního světa.

Ukrytý v hliněné nádobě. Zapečetěný voskem. Pohřbený v srdci zničeného paláce uprostřed popela jedné z největších, téměř zapomenutých indických říší. Příběh, který čeká na odvyprávění. Ve čtrnáctém století našeho letopočtu na jihu území, kterému dnes říkáme Indie, devítiletá Pampa Kampana poprvé uslyší hlas bohyně. Přísahá jí, že zajistí, aby už žádnou ženu nestihl osud její milované matky. S pomocí zázraků Pampa vybuduje velké město zvané Bisnaga - "město vítězství", kde jsou ženy rovny mužům. Každé dílo se však může svému tvůrci vymknout z rukou a Bisnaga není výjimkou. Mnohovrstevnatý text nám v lecčems připomíná pohádky z Tisíce a jedné noci, propojení intrik a nadpřirozena zase současnou popkulturu, jako je Hra o trůny. Rushdie svým doposud posledním románem znovu skládá hold příběhu, který je na rozdíl od lidí a říší nesmrtelným. Řečeno s autorem: Jedinými vítězi jsou slova.

Just three years later, in 1966, Lamborghini stunned the automotive establishment with its introduction of the stunning Miura, the first mid-engine production car. Rivals at the 1966 Geneva Auto Show could only stare in wonder. Wrapped in a svelte Marcello Gandini–penned body and powered by a 350-horsepower V-12, the Miura instantly made every other sports car look antiquated, including those offered by Lamborghini’s Italian rival, Ferrari.

Six Decades of Shelby performance—from the first Shelby AC Cobra to today’s Mustang Shelby GT500!A bad heart forced Carroll Shelby, one of the top racing drivers of all time, to retire in 1960. But that didn’t stop the lanky Texan from continuing to make history. He launched Shelby American in 1962 with the creation of the brilliant Ford-powered AC Cobra, soon to dominate both U.S. and international sports car racing. Shelby’s winning ways soon led to Ford seeking Shelby’s team of “hot rodders” help to make the Ford GT program a success. It worked. Shelby and Ford soon stunned the motorsports world by winning Le Mans and dominating other venues from 1966 to 1969 with the GT40.

A lavish celebration of Moominvalley, complete with hundreds of pages of comics, writing, and ephemeraSince the first Moomin comic strip appeared in the London Evening News, Tove Jansson’s creations have become an international sensation, inspiring TV shows, cafés, a museum, an opera, and even an amusement park. And now in this new deluxe edition are hundreds of pages of Moomin comics, starring Moominmamma, Snorkmaiden, Sniff, Mrs. Fillyjonk, and many more familiar faces.Collected in this volume are the comics created by Lars Jansson, when his sister, Tove, grew tired of drawing a daily strip after half a decade. Lars had long been involved in the creation of the Moomin strips—he translated them into English for publication. Though he had little knowledge of drawing, Lars took over the daily comic strip. Tove taught him, and after two years of sibling collaboration, Lars authored the strips independently for fourteen years. By the mid-1970s, when the strip was at its height of popularity, the tales of Moominvalley were being syndicated in forty papers worldwide, just as absorbing to adult readers as they were to children. Even today, the stories remain uniquely resonant with readers for more than just their quirky, outlandish appearances. With silly ... Unknown localization key: "more"
