Krátky popis
A suicide bombing is being planned in Manchester, and Saleem Khan,
an atheist, seventy years of age, is carrying the bomb. Also
concealed on his person is a cache of vivid, haunting memories -
some of regret and yearning, some humorous, others over-shadowed by
the brutality of war. Award-winning novelist Tariq Mehmood plunges
the reader into the dizzying saga of Saleem's incendiary history.In
the 1960s, he left his lover, his job as a teacher and his home in
rural Pakistan and emigrated to Bradford, a town crackling with
racism. He found a job in a mill on an all-Asian night shift. He
became an active trade unionist and later, when the mills closed
down, drove a taxi.But inevitably he is impelled to return to
Pakistan. From Pakistan, Saleem is drawn across the border into the
killing fields of Afghanistan. Among Russian soldiers and the holy
warriors of the Mujahadeen, he meets Gulzarina, the woman whose
life and experiences promise to make sense of Saleem's own tortuous
history.
