SALMAN RUSHDIE - GEBRAUCHT THE ENCHANTRESS OF F...

Discover this magnificent magical novel from the Booker-prize winning author of Midnight's
Children.    When a young European traveller arrives at Sikri  the court of Mughal Emperor
Akbar  the tale he spins brings the whole imperial capital to the brink of obsession. He calls
himself 'Mogor dell'Amore'  the Mughal of Love  and claims to be the son of a lost princess 
whose name and very existence has been erased from the country's history: Qara Köz  or 'Lady
Black Eyes'.   Lady Black Eyes is a fabled beauty believed to possess great powers of
enchantment and sorcery. After a series of abductions by besotted warlords  she finds herself
carried to Machiavellian Florence. In her attempts to command her own destiny in a world ruled
by men  Lady Black Eyes brings together the two great cities of sensual Florence and hedonistic
Sikri  so far apart and yet so alike  and two worlds become dangerously entwined.   'Vintage
Rushdie...reminds us  in case we may have forgotten  that he can tell a story ...better than
anyone else in the language' Sunday Telegraph
