«El último suspiro del moro» is the magic realist novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (491 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Moraes Zogoiby, the last descendant of a family of Jewish and Christian merchants in India, as he reviews his personal history and that of his lineage throughout the 20th century. Combining magic realism, satire and historical narrative, Rushdie addresses identity, religion and cultural decline against the chaos of Bombay.
Work translated from English by Miguel Sáenz, originally published as «The Moor's Last Sigh». It was nominated for the Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Award and the Aristeion Prize.
A title for readers of literary fiction and magic realism interested in the history of India and family sagas of great narrative density.
