THE GROUND BENEATH HER FEET : A NOVEL Rushdie, Salman 1999 000734 Hard Cover. Brand-New/Brand-New.. From the book jacket: "A great contemporary love story and a dazzling, dancing vision of the modern era, which pulsates with a half century of music. Rushdie's first nove to move from India to England and the USA - it's his finest work - a magnificent novel of great wisdom and gripping storytelling. At the beginning, Vina Apsara, a famous and much-loved singer, is caught up in a devasting earthquake and never seen again. This is her story, and that of Ormus Cama, the lover who finds, loses, seeks and again finds her, over and over, throughout his own extraordinary life in music; the story of a love that extends across their entire lives, and even beyond death. Stretching from the cosmopolitan Bombay of the 1950s thru the vibrant London scene of the 1960s to the last quarter-century - intense, frenzied, crucial - of New York life.

THE SATANIC VERSES Rushdie, Salman 1989 19663 No book in modern times has matched the uproar sparked by Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, which earned its author a death sentence. Furor aside, it is a marvelously erudite study of good and evil, a feast of language served up by a writer at the height of his powers, and a rollicking comic fable. The book begins with two Indians, Gibreel Farishta ("for fifteen years the biggest star in the history of the Indian movies") and Saladin Chamcha, a Bombay expatriate returning from his first visit to his homeland in 15 years, plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their jetliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations. Rushdie's powers of invention are astonishing in this Whitbread Prize winner. From Publishers Weekly Banned in India before publication, this immense novel by Booker Prize-winner Rushdie ( Midnight's Children ) pits Good against Evil in a whimsical and fantastic tale. Two actors from India, "prancing" Gibreel Farishta and "buttony, pursed" Saladin Chamcha, are flying across the English Channel when the first of many implausible events occurs: the jet explodes. As the two men plummet to the earth, "like titbits of tobacco from a broken old cigar," they argue, sing and are transformed. When they are found on an English beach, the only survivors of the blast, Gibreel has sprouted a halo while Saladin has developed hooves, hairy legs and the beginnings of what seem like horns. What follows is a series of allegorical tales that challenges assumptions about both human and divine nature. Rushdie's fanciful language is as concentrated and overwhelming as a paisley pattern. Angels are demonic and demons are angelic as we are propelled through one illuminating episode after another. The narrative is somewhat burdened by self-consciousness that borders on preciosity, but for Rushdie fans this is a splendid feast!
