«El último suspiro del moro» is the novel by British writer Salman Rushdie, published in 1995 in hardback (493 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Moraes Zogoiby, last scion of a Jewish lineage that begins with the Inquisition, and traces the history of Bombay and his family through the twentieth century. With magical realism, Rushdie fuses the comic, the fantastic, and historical narrative into an allegory about decline, love, beauty, and the boundaries between people.
The original title is The Moor's Last Sigh. The Spanish translation is by Miguel Sáenz. In 1995 it was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Whitbread Award.
For readers of literary fiction, magical realism, and family sagas set in India.
