VICTORY CITY (Marathi)

THE EPIC TALE OF A WOMAN WHO BREATHES A FANTASTICAL EMPIRE INTO EXISTENCE, ONLY TO BE CONSUMED BY IT OVER THE CENTURIES—FROM THE TRANSCENDENT IMAGINATION OF BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING, INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR SALMAN RUSHDIE. IN THE WAKE OF AN INSIGNIFICANT BATTLE BETWEEN TWO LONG-FORGOTTEN KINGDOMS IN FOURTEENTH-CENTURY SOUTHERN INDIA, A NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAS A DIVINE ENCOUNTER THAT WILL CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. AFTER WITNESSING THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER, THE GRIEF-STRICKEN PAMPA KAMPANA BECOMES A VESSEL FOR THE GODDESS, WHO BEGINS TO SPEAK OUT OF THE GIRL`S MOUTH. GRANTING HER POWERS BEYOND PAMPA KAMPANA`S COMPREHENSION, THE GODDESS TELLS HER THAT SHE WILL BE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE RISE OF A GREAT CITY CALLED BISNAGA—LITERALLY `VICTORY CITY`—THE WONDER OF THE WORLD.
