«Los versos satánicos» is the contemporary fiction novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Debolsillo in paperback (680 pages, in Spanish).
A hijacked plane explodes over the English Channel and two survivors, the Indian actors Gibreel Farishta and Saladin Chamcha, fall into the sea and reach an English beach suffering strange transformations: one acquires a halo and the other grows hooves. From there, the novel mixes the real and the imaginary to explore identity, religion, migration and the struggle between good and evil.
The novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Award in 1988. This edition belongs to the Contemporánea collection (number 240) and is translated into Spanish by José Antonio Miranda Vidal.
For readers interested in great contemporary fiction and in one of the most celebrated and controversial works of twentieth-century literature.
