weeksj10: Rushdie's books focused around the Khalifa family are like a modern day Alice in Wonderland with a spicy bite from its Indian setting. The wordplay, characters, and plot all mirror those of Alice and like Carroll's book Rushdie's can and will be enjoyed by magic lovers of all ages.… (más)
bookwoman247: Word play and language are an intregal part of both books. Ella Minnow Pea is a bit more sophisticated, but for adults or teens who enjoyed Haroun and the Sea of Stories, I think they will also find Ella Minnow Pea very enjoyable.
Fascinante alegato en pro de la libertad de expresión, que remite a la censura sufrida tras la publicación de Los versos satánicos, o a la que otros puedan haber sufrido con anterioridad.Dedicado a su primer hijo, Salman Rushdie escribe una maravillosa historia para niños y para los no tan niños, que navega entre las influencias de Alicia en el país de las maravillas, Los viajes de Gulliver, La historia interminable de Michael Ende o Las mil y una noches, junto a las más bellas y antiguas tradiciones literarias. Como gran narrador que es, Rushdie se interna en mundo onírico donde el Gran Océano de la Historias está amenazado por un mundo de sombras, opresión y silencio, de la misma manera que el materialismo y el fanatismo amenazan la convivencia y el entendimiento entre los pueblos y las personas.

". . . [a] remarkable new children's book . . . [T]he experiences that lie behind 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' are nearly as fantastic as anything in the tale. . . . full of comic energy and lively verbal invention."

Still Haroun wanted to know why his parents hadn't had more children, but the only answer he ever got from Rashid was no answer at all:
'There's more to you, young Haroun Khalifa, than meets the blinking eye.'
Well, what was THAT supposed to mean? 'We used up our full quota of child-stuff just in making you,' Rashid explained. 'It's all packed in there, enough for maybe four-five kiddies. Yes, sir, more to you than the blinking eye can see.'
Straight answers were beyond the powers of Rashid Khalifa, who would never take a short cut if there was a longer, twistier road available.
