Nůž

When the world-famous writer was the victim of a murderous attack in the summer of 2022, he survived the tragic event with serious injuries. However, the knife in the hands of the assassin not only left marks on his body, but also affected the author's mind.
In an insightful and profoundly candid confession that is considered one of the greatest literary events of our time, Rushdie recounts a difficult physical and mental recovery that would not have been possible without the love of loved ones, the support of friends and readers - and faith in the power of words. With insight as well as a sense of humour, he places his personal story within the mesh of world literature, referencing literary classics as well as his own texts.
The Knife is a compelling, intimate meditation on life, loss, bravery, and the ability to rise again. It is a book that Salman Rushdie had to write.
