A Feiticeira de Florença (The Enchantress of Florence)

by Salman Rushdie

Overview

A Feiticeira de Florença é a história de uma mulher que procura ser senhora do seu próprio destino num mundo de homens. Irmana duas cidades que quase não se conhecem: a hedonista capital mogol, onde o inteligente imperador se debate diariamente com questões de crenças, desejos e a traição dos filhos, e o mundo florentino, igualmente sensual, de poderosos cortesãos, filosofia humanista e desumana tortura. Estes dois mundos, tão distantes, acabam por se revelar estranhamente semelhantes, e ambos são dominados pelos encantamentos das mulheres.

About the Author

One of the most celebrated writers of our time, Salman Rushdie, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, became the target of a fatwa, issued by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran in response to the publication of The Satanic Verses. Rushdie's many books include Midnight's Children (for which he won the Booker Prize in 1981 and, in 2008, the Best of the Booker). For several years, the author was forced into hiding. His memoir Joseph Anton is a reflection on that period.
