Both stories are about story itself, the power of history and fable, and why it is that we can seldom be sure which is which.</P><P> </P><DIV class="MPU_display_class" id="spacedesc_mpu_div"> <DIV class="mpu_continue"><A class="mpu_continue" href="#article_continue">Article c</A></DIV></DIV></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/bhai1/512/6F33CAAC-95E0-45BB-B46A-85BF0320D334.jpg" alt="The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><DIV> <FONT size="3" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Salman Rushdie's sumptuous mixture of history and fable in The Enchantress of Florence is magnificent, says Ursula K Le Guin</FONT> </DIV></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/salman+rushdie/" rel="tag">salman rushdie</a></div>http://books.guardian.co.uk/reviews/generalfiction/0,,2269016,00.htmlSat, 03 May 2008 14:45:01 GMThttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/19243793-A2C5-4989-BAED-242A47DD501F/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/bhai1/">bhai1</a><br><b>clipper's remarks:</b> Marriage is definitely better than a live in arrangement <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.oxfordbookstore.com/oxfordonline/asppages/item_final.asp?strSKU=BE20497&strSKUSrl=1&sid=4QCHJ1EMEJK28GKWF0V80QNRJBUJ9DC7" title="http://www.oxfordbookstore.com/oxfordonline/asppages/item_final.asp?strSKU=BE20497&strSKUSrl=1&sid=4QCHJ1EMEJK28GKWF0V80QNRJBUJ9DC7">www.oxfordbookstore.com</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">The Enchantress Of Florence</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/bhai1/512/D5F1BA96-9245-45C0-9A94-5500F366DB4D.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"> A tall, yellow-haired young European traveller calling himself 'Mogor dell'Amore', the Mughal of Love, arrives at the court of the real Grand Mughal, the Emperor Akbar, with a tale to tell that begins to obsess the whole imperial capital. The stranger claims to be the child of a lost Mughal princess, the youngest sister of Akbar's grandfather Babar: Qara Koz, 'Lady Black Eyes', a great beauty believed to possess powers of enchantment and sorcery, who is taken captive first by an Uzbeg warlord, then by the Shah of Persia, and finally becomes the lover of a certain Argalia, a Florentine soldier of fortune, commander of the armies of the Ottoman Sultan. When Argalia returns home with his Mughal mistress the city is mesmerized by her presence, and much trouble ensues.</div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/salman+rushdie/" rel="tag">salman rushdie</a></div>http://www.oxfordbookstore.com/oxfordonline/asppages/item_final.asp?strSKU=BE20497&strSKUSrl=1&sid=4QCHJ1EMEJK28GKWF0V80QNRJBUJ9DC7Sat, 03 May 2008 14:34:02 GMT
