I “figli della mezzanotte” sono i bambini nati il 15 agosto 1947, allo scoccare della mezzanotte: il momento, cioè, in cui l’India proclamò la propria indipendenza. Possiedono tutti doti straordinarie: forza erculea, capacità di diventare invisibili e di viaggiare nel tempo, bellezza soprannaturale. Ma nessuno è capace di penetrare nel cuore e nella mente degli uomini come Saleem Sinai, il protagonista di questo romanzo che, ormai in punto di morte, racconta la propria tragicomica storia; una vicenda surreale attorno a cui si dipana una grandiosa saga familiare, un magnifico canto corale sullo sfondo della storia dell’India del Ventesimo secolo.

Work Description
Midnight's Children is a 1981 novel by author Salman Rushdie. It portrays India's transition from British colonial rule to independence and the partition of India. It is considered an example of postcolonial, postmodern, and magical realist literature. The story is told by its chief protagonist, Saleem Sinai, and is set in the context of actual historical events. The style of preserving history with fictional accounts is self-reflexive.
Midnight's Children won both the Booker Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1981. It was awarded the "Booker of Bookers" Prize and the best all-time prize winners in 1993 and 2008 to celebrate the Booker Prize 25th and 40th anniversary.In 2003, the novel was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novels". It was also added to the list of Great Books of the 20th Century, published by Penguin Books.
