IMAGINE you are Luka a twelve-year-old boy who has to save the life of the storyteller father you adore. IMAGINE you have two loyal companions by your side: a bear called Dog who can sing & a dog called Bear who can dance. IMAGINE you must now embark on a journey through the Magic World to steal the Fire of Life a seemingly impossible & exceedingly dangerous task... With Haroun & the Sea of Stories Salman Rushdie proved that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables & it proved to be one of his most popular books with readers of all ages. While Haroun was written as a gift for his first son Luka & the Fire of Life the story of Harouns younger brother is a gift for his second son on his twelfth birthday. Lyrical rich with word-play & with the narrative tension of the classic quest stories this is Salman Rushdie at his very best.
