Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Sasan in ancient Arabia, the daughter of the prime minister, shanruzod, told a story to King shannuya every night, one after another, for a thousand and one nights... After the story of "thousand and one nights" spread for almost one thousand and one years (perhaps the actual years were much longer than one thousand and one), a young man from an Indian Muslim family was dry and cracked day by day When life is coming to an end, I begin to tell a long story, a story related to "one thousand and one".

The story begins like this: Adam Aziz, a rich boy, has a huge nose. His friend said, "you can just cross the river with your nose on the water." The doctor with a big nose is not the protagonist of the story, but it is always with the story. His unrelated grandson also has a big nose; The grandson with a big nose is the storyteller.

His story is about one thousand and one children. The 1001 children were born around midnight on August 15, 1947, Indias independence day. These 1001 children are more or less magical. Some are plain but can make people desperate to fall in love with themselves. Some are born with Tagores poetic talent. Some are amazing, some can change at will in the water, some can enter and leave freely from any reflective surface on the earth, some can enlarge or shrink their bodies at will, and some can cause physical harm to others, Some can eat metal... These midnight born children, organized by the big nose doll Salim, have had midnight parties in his brain again and again. These magical midnight sons are "children of this era" and "seeds sown by history". With the new country, they have experienced all kinds of hardships and gone to destruction

★ in the 20th century, the magic realism masterpiece comparable to "one hundred years of solitude" won the first place in the "top ten good books of the year" and was known as "a rare perfect novel in the English world".

★ this book has won the Booker Prize three times: in 1981, it won the Booker Prize; In 1993, he was awarded the "special Booker Award" to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Booker Award; In 2008, he won the "Zui good Booker Award" specially designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Booker award.

★ author Salman Rushdie (also translated as Salman Rushdie), known as the "godfather of Postcolonial Literature", is a legendary writer unanimously praised by literary masters such as juntegras, Milan Kundera and Mo Yan. His creativity is extremely strong, and his works are both popular and popular. Almost every work is a popular candidate for the Booker Prize.

Midnights children is a complicated and ironic Autobiography of the narrator. It is also a modern history of literature in India. With his rich and wild imagination, the author presents the complex aspects of both glory and evil in South Asia: the life, destiny, dream and helplessness of this mysterious subcontinent and its people.

The book is full of mysterious coincidences like "thousand and one nights". Adhering to the narrative style of Indian epic, it has a more dazzling magical color than "Tin Drum", and has a tortuous plot and strong readability than "one hundred years of solitude". From the life experience of an ordinary person to the turbulent transformation of an era, from the Brahma gods in ancient India to the political group of Lady Gandhi in modern India, from the historical reality of the partition of India and Pakistan to the illusory world full of prophecy, omens and special functions, a literary world in which reality and fiction, art and reality, satire and criticism coexist strangely, has constructed a unique landscape of world literature in the 20th century.
