Mavrov poslednji uzdah

Mavrov poslednji uzdah

Salman Rushdie

The knight of the British crown and one of the best modern world writers once again shows all the splendor of his incredible talent.

This insightful and witty story, steeped in diverse cultural influences, narrates the rise and fall of the Da Gama Zogoibi family from the turn of the century to modern times. From the exotic south of India, marked by the Portuguese influence, to the streets of the metropolis of Bombay, the magic of colorful worlds and heroes takes you on an unforgettable journey of magnificent proportions.

The epic portrait of the human soul depicts the search for roots in the modern world - the same world we walk in, whose air we breathe, tormented by nationalistic blows, violence and boundless human greed.

Two evils can make no good: I was fully aware of these truths. And one more thing: when you fall on the branches of your enemy, you lose your high position.
