The Enchantress of Florence

Reader:

Salman Rushdie was the son of a prosperous Muslim businessman in India. He was educated at Rugby School and the University of Cambridge, where he received an M.A. degree in history in 1968. Throughout most of the 1970s, he worked in London as an advertising copywriter. His first published novel, Grimus, appeared in 1975. The Enchantress of Florence opens with a traveller approaching Sikri, the royal city of Akbar the Great, the Mughal emperor. The city sits on a great lake that seems to be made of molten gold until the traveller realizes he is only seeing the reflection of the setting sun. As he enters the gates, he attracts notice because of his height and yellow hair, which mark him as European. He thinks of the secret he has come to tell the emperor, but he realizes it is too late to see the emperor and ends up staying at a brothel, the House of Skandra. The traveller, a Florentine, came to India on a Scottish pirate ship that was commissioned to bear a message to Akbar from England’s Queen Elizabeth. Despite being discovered as a stowaway, the traveller, now called Uccello, earned the confidence of the captain. After the captain poured them each a goblet of brandy, Uccello poured laudanum into the captain’s drink, which caused him to slip into a coma. Uccello diffused suspicion from himself by showing concern and by helping the ship’s doctor tend to the stricken captain.
