Krátky popis
She will whisper an empire into existence - but all stories have a
way of getting away from their creators . . .'A total
pleasure'SUNDAY TIMES'Shows once again why his work will always
matter'NEW YORK TIMES'Rushdie still has the gift of
alchemy'FINANCIAL TIMESIn the wake of an insignificant battle
between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern
India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change
the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother,
the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for a goddess,
who tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great
city called Bisnaga - literally 'victory city' - the wonder of the
world. Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's
life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's as she attempts to
make good on the task that the goddess set for her: to give women
equal agency in a patriarchal world.But all stories have a way of
getting away from their creator, and as years pass, rulers come and
go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, Bisnaga is no
exception.
