The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie

The Satanic Verses is a critically acclaimed 1988 novel by award-winning author Salman Rushdie. Inspired by the life of the Prophet Muhammad, The Satanic Verses is one of the most famous – and most controversial – novels of all time. Synopsis: 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. This a paperback book in very good used condition. The cover is slightly bent, but there is no writing or marking of the pages.
