Salman Rushdie is the renowned British Hindu novelist, one of the most successful authors of the last few years. How Gabriel García Márquez incorporates elements of magical realism, mixing the fantastic with the real, creates very rich, evocative literary worlds. But for expressing his own art, he has been persecuted for 30 years by fundamentalist radicals of the Islamic religion. A persecution that has been successful in taking the lives of multiple people who have worked on the works of Salman Rushdie. Here we tell you the story of how this modern witch hunt began. Bienvenidos a este episodio corto de Bibliotequeando, un nuevo concepto que voy a empezar a hacer dentro del podcast. Normalmente los que me escuchan, me siguen, saben, aquí resumimos libros semanalmente.
Hablamos del contexto del autor, el contexto de la historia. Y voy a empezar ahora a hacer, por petición popular, libros o mejor dicho episodios de temas específicos que se consiguen en los libros semanalmente. Así que estos episodios van a salir mitad de semana, mientras que como hacíamos anteriormente, los libros resúmenes semanales seguirán saliendo los lunes. Pueden seguirnos en Bibliotequeando en las distintas plataformas para seguir promoviendo este movimiento del conocimiento cultura a través de los libros. So let's start with this episode where we explain the story of how Salman Rushdie ends up being persecuted by Islamic extremists. The author was born in 1947 in India, but very young he moved to England at the age of seven.
Eventually he becomes a British citizen and as a person he really becomes very Western, at least in his values and his way of thinking. He comes from a Muslim family, and this is very important in this story, but eventually decides to study at the University of Cambridge, a very intelligent, brilliant man, enters one of the best universities in the world and begins there his career as an author. He becomes famous with Sons of Midnight, but we come to talk specifically about his fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, published in 1988. The Satanic Verses is a novel of magical realism, a very interesting story, two Muslim actors who come from India, who compete for fame, compete in a world of chaos and magic, each one is going to become a representation of good and evil religious, but also in the background story you can see the formation of the Islamic faith, the Muslim faith from its own birth, the prophet Muhammad comes out.
and he refers to the prophet in a satirical way, a way that caused a lot of controversy within the Islamic world. But in what way is the author making fun of the Muslim religion? Because he uses an event of real life, at least reported in the Quran, to base part of the history of the satanic verses. Because Muhammad, the prophet, when he is persecuted outside Mecca, remember that Muhammad created the Muslim religion in what is today Saudi Arabia, an extremely pagan culture. The community was against the formation of this religion and he and 83 of his followers were persecuted to the point that they had to emigrate from Mecca and go to Ethiopia. Eventually, Mahoma returns and part of the pilgrimage that is done to Mecca today is in honor of that trip.
