Quiz They told us it would be a long, ugly struggle, and so it is. America's war against terror has entered its second phase, a phase characterised by the storm over the condition, status and human rights of the prisoners held at Camp X-Ray, and by the frustrating failure of the US to find Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar. Additionally, if America now attacks other countries suspected of harbouring terrorists, it will almost certainly do so alone, without the backing of the coalition that supported the action in Afghanistan. The reason is that America finds itself facing an ideological enemy that may turn out to be harder to defeat than militant Islam: that is to say, anti-Americanism, which is presently taking the world by storm.

http://www.factmonster.com/ce5/CE045046.html

Extractions: Rushdie, Salman Rushdie, Salman, Midnight's Children (1981) and Shame (1983), are examples of magic realism . Parts of his allegorical novel The Satanic Verses (1988) were deemed sacrilegious and enraged many Muslims, including the Ayatollah Khomeini , who in 1989 issued a fatwa sentencing Rushdie to death. Violence occurred in cities where the book was sold, and Rushdie went into hiding. From his seclusion he wrote Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990), a novelistic allegory against censorship; East, West (1995), a book of short stories; and The Moor's Last Sigh (1995), a novel that examines India's recent history through the life of a Jewish-Christian family. The fatwa was lifted in 1998. Rushdie's next novel, The Ground Beneath Her Feet (1999), mingles myth and reality in a surreal world of rock-and-roll celebrity. He has also written essays.

Extractions: "It's one of the things that people stopped saying about my writing at a certain point. I think because what came at me was so unfunny there was a tendency to believe my writing must have the characteristics of the attack against it. If the attack was unfunny then I couldn't possibly be a funny writer and if the attack was kind of arcane and theological and kind of alien then the writing must be sort of arcane and theological and alien, you know? I think, for people that had never tried my work, it kind of put them off." He is, arguably, one of the most controversial writers of our time. His fourth book, The Satanic Verses caused an international storm so loud that, for a time, it did all but obliterate the identity of the man who had written it. "Who would have thought this kind of thing?" Salman Rushdie says now of the fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989. "That the leader of a foreign power would suddenly instruct his minions to have me killed? It would never really happen to a writer."

Extractions: Rushdie [r a sdi], Salman; Ahmed Salman Rushdie (teljes név); (Bombay, 1947. jún. 19. - ): indiai születésû angol író. Tizennégy éves koráig Indiában élt, majd Angliába költözött. Volt színész, hírdetési szakember, elvégezte a Camebridge-i Egyetemen a történész szakot. Elsõ regénye, a Grimus (1975), egy amerikai indián története, aki a halhatatlanság birtokában keresi az élet értelmét. Világhírt a Midnight's Children (1981: Falvay M., Az éjfél gyermekei, 1987) c. regényével szerzett. A cím arra az ezeregy gyermekre utal, akik az India függetlenné válása utáni, 1947. aug. 15. elsõ órájában születtek, de a gyermekhalandóság miatt kilencéves korukra csak 580-an maradtak. A Bombay-ban játszódó történet fõszereplõje, Szalín Szinai Indiát személyesíti meg. Következõ regénye a Shame (1983: Falvay M., Szégyen, 1989), egy Pakisztán történelmét feldolgozó tarkamese. Satanic Verses ('Sátáni versek', 1988) c. regényének kiinduló motívumául apokrif Korán-részletek szolgáltak, ezért a muszlim fundamentalisták nyilvánosan elégették, Rushdie-t magát halálra ítélték és - állítólag - egyre növekvõ összegû vérdíjat tûztek ki fejére. Regénye apológiáját The Book Burning (1989: A könyvégetés, Barkóczi A., Nagyv, 1989, 5.) c. esszéjében fogalmazta meg. Egy Rushdie elleni elképzelt merényletrõl szól magyar pályatársa

Extractions: Salman Rushdie wurde 1947 in Bombay geboren und studierte in Cambridge Geschichte. Danach arbeitete er am Theater und als freier Journalist und Schriftsteller. Nur wenige Monate nach der Veröffentlichung des Romans "Die satanischen Verse" im Jahr 1988 bezichtigte der iranische Revolutionsführer Ajatollah Khomeini Rushdie der Blasphemie und verhängte über ihn das Todesurteil, die Fatwa. Nach mehr als 10 Jahren mit unbekanntem Aufenthalt in England lebt Rushdie heute in New York.

Extractions: Mit dem Reisebericht Das Lächeln des Jaguars und den unter dem Titel Heimatländer der Phantasie gesammelten Essays stellte Salman Rushdie unter Beweis, daß er nicht nur zu den bedeutendsten lebenden Autoren der Weltliteratur gehört, sondern auch ein brillanter Essayist ist. Besonders in seinen Rezensionen greift er immer wieder Themen der phantastischen Literatur auf und erweist sich als ebenso kenntnisreicher wie trefflicher Kritiker. Der Zauberer von Oz vereint den längeren Essay "Ein kurzer Text über die Magie", eine charmante und augenzwinkernde Analyse des Films

Salman Rushdie: Grimus
Mit Grimus schuf salman rushdie ein Science Fantasy M¤rchen, in dem, wie in seinen sp¤teren Meisterwerken Mitternachtskinder und Die satanischen Verse, ein versiertes Spiel mit Mythen und Sagen verschiedener Kulturen getrieben wird.

Extractions: Nach Genuß eines Unsterblichkeitstranks wandert der nordamerikanische Indianer Flapping Eagle 777 Jahre über die Erde, bis er, seiner Unsterblichkeit müde, auf der Suche nach seiner verschwundenen Schwester durch ein Dimensionstor im Mittelmeer auf die Insel Calf Island gerät. Zusammen mit seinem Weggefährten Virgil Jones verschlägt es ihn in verschiedene alternative Realitäten, doch stets gilt sein Trachten, den Zauberer Grimus zu finden, seinen Schatten und Doppelgänger, der die Fäden des Rätsels menschlicher Existenz in der Hand hält.
