Salman Rushdie is a master of humanism, he sees the "world too clearly" and tirelessly writes to clarify it for the rest of us. "The Enchantress of Florence" deals with Akbar the Great's reign of Mughal India, where he founded the real life "House of Worship" which incorporated tenets from all religions, and recognized that maybe, humans create God for themselves, and not the other way around. Rushdie also takes his readers to Medici Florence to understand Machiavelli's struggle for a solution to the conundrum of power. Packed with instructive history and fantastical magic, this book is amazing, I wanted to immediately start it over after I read the last page. It also includes an amazing bibliography of all the sources Rushdie used, for further reading.
