«Els fills de la mitjanit» is the magic realism novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Edicions Bromera in paperback (608 pages, in Catalan).
Saleem is born at the moment India gains its independence, a bond that ties him to the country's fate and gives him a nose for perceiving threats and telepathy with the other thousand children born at that midnight. Rushdie weaves Indian oral tradition, magic realism and political satire into an epic tale about identity, memory and history.
Part of the L'Eclèctica collection (no. 156), with a Catalan translation by Joan Sellent. Winner of the 1981 Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker.
For readers of literary fiction and magic realism interested in the history of India and novels with a political backdrop, aged 16 and up.

His work often combines magical realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent. Rushdie's second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was deemed to be "the best novel of all winners" on two occasions that marked the 25th and the 40th anniversary of the prize.
