Dove l'avevano messo sulla lista di morte, Ayatollah Khomeni! Per il libbro di Saman "i versi satanici"! <BR/><BR/>Che leggendolo, poi cosi satanico non l'ho trovato sinceramente ;) <BR/><BR/>In quei tempi fu´ uno scandalo da tutte e due punti di vista! <BR/><BR/>Iniziarono dopo Salman, a cercare anche altri versi in altri monumenti letterari. Imagina un po´ questa cosa: L'Itala negli anni ottanta ricevette la minaccia, che qualcuno voleva far saltare con esplosivo la tomba di Dante Alighieri, perche sosteneva che nel capolavoro di Dante, "LA DIVINA COMMEDIA", ci fossero versi che parlassero contro l'Islam. Dovettero mettere dei militari per proteggere la sua tomba. <BR/><BR/>Buon Post, come abitualmente da te. <BR/><BR/>Saluti, <BR/>SalvaSalvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234873019419598363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-43758455935809537962008-10-17T15:42:00.000+01:002008-10-17T15:42:00.000+01:00Thanks, birdtweet and karma.You're right, birdtwee...Thanks, birdtweet and karma.<BR/><BR/>You're right, birdtweet, Rushdie is not easy read, but then again, I love challenging literature :-)<BR/><BR/>Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-3090057399737834522008-10-17T15:25:00.000+01:002008-10-17T15:25:00.000+01:00This sounds intriguing.

Gracias por pasar por mi blog, siempre me encantan tus observaciones. Eso fue en chiste lo que leistes en mi blog. Pero sabes que la guerra en la que estan las personas aqui, sobre las eleciones es grande. Muchas de las personas viviendo aqui son super religiosas, racistas y hay mucha ignorancia. Ya sabes por quien yo boy a votar esta en mi side bar of my blog.

Es curioso como siendo tan diferentes las historias (casi el reverso) una de la otra, aquella novela me recordó muchísimo a "The Lover" de Marguerite Duras.<BR/>Hay algo en el ritmo y la composición de los personajes que me hace trocar -en la distancia- a una con la otra. <BR/><BR/>Tratare de echarme la novela tan pronto pueda cuban.
