Los versos satnicos es la novela ms clebre, iconoclasta y polmica de Salman Rushdie.Una referencia ineludible de la literatura de nuestro tiempo. Un avin secuestrado estalla a gran altura sobre el canal de la Mancha. Dos supervivientes caen al mar: Gibrel Farishta, un legendario galn cinematogrfico, y Saladin Chamcha, el hombre de las mil voces, autodidacta y anglfilo furibundo. Consiguen llegar a una playa inglesa y notan unos extraos cambios: uno ha adquirido una aureola y el otro ve con horror cmo crece el vello de sus piernas, los pies se le convierten en cascos y las sienes se abultan... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION#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 Prize One 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.
