Two years eight months and twenty-eight nights : a novel
Rushdie, Salman, 1947-
Two years eight months and twenty-eight nights : a novel / Salman Rushdie. - First edition. - New York : Random House , 2015 - 290 p. ; 25 cm
Once upon a time, in a world just like ours, there came "the time of the strangenesses." Reason receded and the loudest, most illiberal voices reigned. A simple gardener began to levitate, and a powerful djinn - also known as the Princess of Fairyland - raised an army composed entirely of her semi-magical great-great-great-grandchildren. A baby was born with the ability to see corruption in the faces of others. The ghosts of two philosophers, long dead, began arguing once more. And a battle for the kingdom of Fairyland was waged throughout our world for 1,001 nights - or, to be more precise, for two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a playfully enchanting meditation on the power of love and the importance of rationality, replete with flying carpets and dynastic intrigue.
