«Els fills de la mitjanit» is the novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Editorial Empúries in hardcover (642 pages, in Catalan).
The novel follows Saleem Sinai, born on August 15, 1947, at the moment India gains independence from the British Empire; his biography becomes tied to the country's fate and he possesses an extraordinary gift: telepathic connection with a thousand other «children of midnight». With political satire and magical elements, the work spans three decades of Indian history.
Translation by Joan Sellent Arús. Empúries Narrativa collection (no. 180). Booker Prize in 1981 and chosen Best of the Booker in 2008. Original title: Midnight's Children.
For readers of literary fiction and magical realism, as well as those interested in the history of India.
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British and American novelist. His work often combines magical realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent. Rushdie's second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was deemed to be "the best novel of all winners" on two occasions that marked the 25th and the 40th anniversary of the prize.
