Description: SIGNED by the Author on the title page, tall 8vo, black cloth with gold lettering on spine, archival mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) with Mugal loving couple picture insert, Foyle's Signed First Edition red sticker; pictorial endpapers, 359 pages. An excellent historical tale told by a master & winner of the prestigious Booker Prize and author of The Satanic Verses. The Enchantress of Florence is his ninth novel and, according to Rushdie, this is his "most researched book" which required "years and years of reading." The central theme of The Enchantress of Florence is the visit of a European to the Mughal emperor Akbar's court and his claim that he is a long lost relative of Akbar, born of an exiled Indian princess and an Italian from Florence. The story moves between continents, the court of Akbar to Renaissance Florence mixing history, fantasy and fable. Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie FRSL (born 1947) is a British Indian novelist and essayist. His second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981. He combines magical realism with historical fiction often dealing with disruptions between Eastern and Western civilizations. His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (1988), was the subject of a major controversy and led to a fatwah and recent near-deadly attack. SIGNED & Exceptionally Fine internally and externally. No previous owner or remainder marks.

Description: Very fine, new, clean, crisp and unread first U.K. printing of this beautifully produced book from the extraordinarily talented Salman Rushdie. SIGNED by him with his name only to the title page. Bound in fresh, sharp black boards, gold titles stamped to the spine, gorgeous illustrated endpapers, the front an animated painting of the Mughal Palace with diverse quotidian scenes, including elephants, the rear a painting of a Mughal palace with surrounding town, river and bridges. The beautiful pictorial dust jacket has more stunning illustrations with beautiful colors and design, protected of course in a new, clear Brodart cover. Booker award winner Rushdie never disappoints with masterful, inventive and fantastical story telling weaving seemingly unrelated elements, a ravishingly beautiful woman of strong will, complex and opposing cultural dynamics and the wild appearance of truth.or deception? As always, a great read.
