When a terrorist attack brings down a London-bound jet, two Indian actors fall from the sky—one transforming into an angelic figure, the other into something far darker.
Thus begins a surreal and sweeping odyssey through identity, belief, and transformation in The Satanic Verses, Salman Rushdie’s most provocative and acclaimed novel. As Gibreel and Saladin navigate a world of miracles and mayhem, myth and memory, their journey becomes a volatile meditation on faith, immigration, and what it means to exist between worlds.
Censored, celebrated, and globally discussed, this modern masterpiece blends dazzling imagination with razor-sharp social commentary. Verbal fireworks meet psychological insight in a story where nothing is sacred—and everything is questioned.
What happens when belief takes flight—and who survives the fall?
