«La encantadora de Florencia» is the historical novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Random House in hardcover (336 pages, in Spanish).
In the sixteenth century, a traveler arrives at the court of Akbar the Great in Fatehpur Sikri with a secret about a woman skilled in enchantments who reached distant Florence. Rushdie interweaves the formation of the Mughal empire and the origin of India with forgotten princesses, emperors fascinated by imaginary women, and an impossible city.
Translation by Carlos Milla Soler. The work was originally published as The Enchantress of Florence in 2008.
For readers of historical fiction and magical realism, with an interest in Mughal India and the power of legends.
