Synopsis
Born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India's independence, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs, and telepathic powers link him with the other children born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts., The iconic masterpiece of India that introduced the world to "a glittering novelist--one with startling imaginative and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling" ( The New Yorker ) WINNER OF THE BEST OF THE BOOKERS - SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time - The fortieth anniversary edition, featuring a new introduction by the author Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India's independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India's 1,000 other "midnight's children," all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people-a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Forty years after its publication, Midnight's Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time., The iconic masterpiece of India that introduced the world to "a glittering novelist--one with startling imaginative and intellectual resources, a master of perpetual storytelling" ( The New Yorker ) WINNER OF THE BEST OF THE BOOKERS * SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time * The fortieth anniversary edition, featuring a new introduction by the author Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India's independence.

- a***h (25)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéThe book was competitively priced, ordering was easy, the book was well packaged and arrived safely, and its condition was exactly as specified.The delivery time from ordering to mailbox was a little long (14 days), but overall it was a good experience and I would use this seller again.
- n***a (188)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéMy kid really wanted this, and she likes it. I don’t think the value is great, just more HP commercialism. (She paid me and I ordered, btw.) The price from this seller on eBay is less than anywhere else we found. Reviews citing LONG wait between order and receiving the items are correct: give this seller a full 2 weeks to get items to you. The set arrived carefully packaged and pristine. Overall, my daughter is very pleased with the item. If you can be patient, seller offers good value.
