Salman Rushdie - Az truth nyelvei

"I believe that we become who we are from the books and stories we fall in love with, or less exaggerated: when we fall in love with a book or story, it somehow changes us, and the beloved tale becomes part of our worldview, part of how we understand the things as we make decisions and choices in our daily lives. As adults, because it's harder for us to fall in love, we end up with maybe only a handful of books we can honestly say we love. Maybe that's why we make so many bad decisions."

The volume collects essays written between 2003 and 2020 by the renowned Indian-British-American novelist.
Rushdie also gives himself in his lecture prose: in an engaging and often entertaining style, he talks about the now forgotten tradition of storytelling, the nature of the novel, his literary heroes, from Cervantes and Shakespeare to Andersen and Lewis Carroll to García Márquez, Vonnegut and Philip Roth, but in the book his political writings, as well as his more important public speeches and criticisms were also included. But whether he writes about literature, language or current social issues, Rushdie always believes in the freedom of art and the individual.
