The Satanic Verses
One of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written, 'The Satanic Verses' is Salman Rushdie’s best-known and most galvanising 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.
This is a first edition from the private collection of Robert Yeo. The publication bears Yeo’s notes on the inside cover.
