Description
Edizione: a unique book in the history of modern literature, in that its publication resulted in a death sentence for the author being decreed by islamic fundamentalists (which is still in effect).<br> inspired in part by the life of muhammad, rushdie used magical realism and relied on contemporary events and people to create his characters. in the united kingdom, the satanic verses received positive reviews, and was a 1988 booker prize finalist and won the 1988 whitbread award for novel of the year. however, conservative muslims accused it of blasphemy and mocking their faith. the outrage among them resulted in a fatw calling for rushdie's death issued by ayatollah ruhollah khomeini, then supreme leader of iran. the result was several failed assassination attacks on rushdie, who was placed under police protection.
