Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide
About this book
Unlock the more straightforward side of The Satanic Verses with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, a vividly imagined magical realist novel that interweaves the story of the protagonists Saladin and Gibreel, whose lives are transformed after they survive the hijacking of a plane, with an imaginary account of the early days of Islam. Through this story, Rushdie explores the themes of Indian identity, migration, belief and alienation. Although the novel was critically acclaimed in the West, its depiction of Islam and of the Prophet Muhammed angered many Muslims, who interpreted it as blasphemous, and resulted in the issuing of a fatwa for Rushdie's assassination.Find out everything you need to know about The Satanic Verses in a fraction of the time!
