Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Enchantress of Florence (2008) is the ninth novel of Salman Rushdie, which mixes historical facts and fantastical elements without shame or mercy. It is mostly seen as a work of Magic Realism, but with quite a dose of fantasy element. Rushdie is particularly proud of the research he's done for the novel's writing, and attached half a dozen pages of references at the end of the book—not bad for a work of fiction.At the heights of the Mughal Empire of India, a blond traveller with a strange overcoat and, seemingly, magical prowess, came to visit Akbar the Great with a secret only a king may hear. He claimed to be under the protection of the greatest enchantress in the world: the titular enchantres of Florence. Strange things happened along the way. | |

Art Initiates Life | |
| The Enchantress of Florence / int_3bc22d58 | comment |
Art Initiates Life: Jodha, the Emperor's favourite queen, was apparently conjured up by him by sheer force of will. This is among the few moments in the story which is hard to interpret in non-magical terms. Inverted with Dashwant, the imperial artist, who fell so madly in love with Qara Köz that he managed to transform himself into a painting. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation | |
| The Enchantress of Florence / int_89b8822f | comment |
Go Mad from the Revelation: Il Machia met a slave-girl which was transformed by potent hypnosis to be a "memory palace", a kind of exotic hard disk drive. He then attempted to restore the girl to a human state, but when she did, she remembered all the perils of her life and defenestrated herself. | |

Royal "We" | |
| The Enchantress of Florence / int_a42f56b0 | comment |
Royal "We": Played With. Akbar thinks of himself as the entirety of his power and uses "we", but toyed with the idea of the "I", which he finds very alien. | |

Take That! | |

Take That!: Rushdie doesn't have a history of good rapport with religious fundamentalists (The Satanic Verses and everything). There is one such character. Not very nice things happened. | |

Everybody Has Lots of Sex: The reopening of the brotherls after Girolamo Savonarola gets burnt is pretty much an endless orgy in Florence. Mughal India is not far behind either. | |

Blasphemous Boast: Possibly. The book noted that when he says "Allahu Akbar" (God is great/akbar) he could very well mean "Akbar is God." | |
