Salman Rushdie. L'Incantatrice di Firenze
2009-09-16 10:04:00 Salman Rushdie L'Incantatrice di Firenze Mondadori Collana: Scrittori italiani e stranieri / Narrativa Pagine 384 Anno 2009 ISBN 9788804589044 € 20.00 Un misterioso viaggiatore dai capelli biondi arriva a Sikri, sede della corte Mogol, e chiede udienza al sovrano Jalalluddin Muhammed Akbar, detto Akbar il Grande. Lo straniero afferma di venire da una sconosciuta, remotissima città di nome Firenze e di avere una storia tanto meravigliosa quanto veritiera da raccontare: una storia che lega i destini della misteriosa capitale d'Occidente da cui proviene a quelli della discendenza del monarca indiano. Inizia così un racconto che, unendo una pirotecnica inventiva a una minuziosissima documentazione, si snoda tra figure storiche gigantesche, una fra tutte Machiavelli, e vede tra i protagonisti l'enigmatica Qara Köz, "Madama Occhi Neri", principessa destinata a sconvolgere con la sua esotica e rara bellezza la raffinata corte medicea. Quanto c'...

No es todo rock and roll. Bono y the Edge son personas serias, no están sólo para las risas"Sinceramente, no me sorprenden estas declaraciones, pero me queda una duda...¿Y Adam Clayton? Yo creo que él si vive el mundo del Rock and Roll... Tampoco os penséis que U2 no se ha corrido sus buenas juergas cuando se iban de gira... Solo os tenéis que leer el libro "U2: At the End of the World" de Bill Flanagan para comprobarlo...U2 convirtió la novela de Rushdie "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" en una canción para la banda sonora de The Million Dollar Hotel y Rushdie ha pasa...

British Islamic Association Leader Blames Salman Rushdie for Terror Attacks
2007-07-02 15:43:00 Iran’s Alalam News interviews the head of the “Britain Islamic Association” (a group I’m not familiar with, and couldn’t find on the web), who denies Muslims were involved in the terror attacks of the past few days, whines that they’re going to be unfairly targeted, then says that if Muslims did commit the attacks (nudge nudge, wink wink) Salman Rushdie is to blame: UK Muslims Facing More Threats. (Warning: the link goes to an Iranian site, and they often contain viruses or other malware.) It’s the Islamic trifecta—denial, whining, and veiled threats. LONDON, July 1—Head of Britain Islamic Association said here on Sunday that the situation of Muslims in Britain would be deteriorated in results of finding several bombs in two suspected cars which were to target the Glasgow airport. In an exclusive interview with Alalam, Al-Sayyed Farjani said while Britain Muslims are strongly condemning the terrorist attacks, unfortunately there ...

Salman Rushdie knighthood : A provocative move by Britain
2007-06-22 12:08:00 In my opinion Britain's decision to award writer Salman Rushdie a knighthood is provocative move. It has hurt the feelings of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims.Those who had chosen to honor Rushdie - the Indian Muslim author of The Satanic Verses, which many Muslims deemed blasphemous for insulting the Prophet Mohammed and his wives - were either naive and stupid, or had just wanted to provoke Muslims worldwide.Honoring Rushdie came at the wrong time and by the wrong country. It will hurt Britain's national security, interests. and endanger the lives of its citizen.Muslims countries should recall their ambassadors from Britain and ask her to tender an apology.

(Sir) Salman Rushdie reads The Satanic Verses
2007-06-22 02:44:00 With all this controversy about Rushdie’s knighthood I thought it would be interesting to post a little about what’s getting people’s backs up. Why people believe he deserves to die. Rather than posting some text, I’ve found the man himself reading a section from ‘The Satanic Verses’. LINK I think it’s rather funny. I’ve not read it myself but if the rest is as good it might be worth finding a copy. Has anyone else read it? Worth spending a few $$$ on it?

Arise Sir Salman Rushdie!
2007-06-18 21:29:00 Salman Rushdie, has made his defection from the ranks of anti-establishment scribes official by accepting a knighthood for services to literature. The title was announced recently in the Queen's birthday honours list.The brilliant satirical broadsides Rushdie once lobbed at the British establishment are what post-colonial liberal authors are supposed to be all about. So not surprisingly his critics have been unable to resist taking a few potshots with news of the knighthood.Accusations that Rushdie has sold out aren't exactly new. They gathered steam with his support for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia - a stance that prompted Tariq Ali and others to dub Rushdie and allies "the belligerati". He also drew the ire of the correctness crowd when he backed Jack Straw's criticisms of Islamic veiling customs. Now predictably the knighthood is being viewed by some as proof positive that he has become what he once reviled - a lapdog of the establishment. This is utter nonsense.Rushdie has...
