Reviews
"The reason The Babur Nama speaks intimately across the centuries -- the reason this book has been compared to the diaries of Samuel Pepys -- is how intelligent, humane, self-critical and even light-souled it is. . . . Babur is charming and surprisingly modern company on the page. His name, among Western readers, deserves to be better known. If you only read one autobiography from a sensitive 16th-century warlord this year, make it this one." - The New York Times "What a story [these] memoirs tell. . . . As The Babur Nama shows in disarming detail, as a warrior and emperor Babur was both murderous (of his enemies) and modest (in his victories). He was also an aesthete, drinking wine . . .and writing elegant Persian poetry. . . . He is candid--in a most modern way--about his feelings. . . . Babur had a flair for description that matched his battlefield abilities." - The Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
"If you only read one autobiography from a sensitive 16th-century warlord this year, make it this one." -- The New York Times A hardcover edition of the colorful memoirs of Babur--founder and first emperor of the Mughal dynasty--that is "justly considered a masterpiece" ( The Wall Street Journal). Zahiru'd-din Muhamad Babur (1483-1530), a poet-prince from Central Asia, was the author of one of the most remarkable autobiographies in world literature. The Babur Nama reveals him as not only a military genius but also a ruler unusually magnanimous for his time, cultured, witty, and possessing a talent for poetry, an adventurous spirit, and an acute eye for natural beauty. Babur ascended the throne of Fergana, in what is now Uzbekistan, when he was twelve years old. He eventually invaded India and founded the Mughal dynasty, which would dazzle the world for three centuries. Babur left behind a detailed and colorful record of his life, written in simple and unpretentious prose, that has fascinated readers for hundreds of years. But his self-portrait goes beyond the events of a dramatic life; on the page, his restless energy and ambition are balanced by modesty, regret for his failures, and frankness about his experiences with depression and grief in response to tragedy. The Babur Nama is both a lively chronicle of extraordinary historical events and a deeply personal memoir whose unusual honesty and sensitivity has given it enduring appeal., A hardcover edition of the first autobiography in Islamic literature: the colorful memoirs of Babur, founder and first emperor of the Mughal dynasty. Both an official chronicle and the lively and highly personal memoir of the emperor Babur (1483-1530), The Baburnama presents an extraordinarily vivid portrait of life in Central Asia and South India during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Babur, a descendant of the Turco-Mongol conqueror Timur (Tamurlane) on his father's side and of Genghis Khan on his mother's side, ascended the throne of Fergana, in what is now Uzbekistan, when he was twelve years old. He went on to conquer Samarkand and Kabul before invading India and founding the Mughal dynasty, which would rule for three centuries. Babur's intimate chronicle is the first autobiography in Islamic literature and a work of enduring appeal. It reveals its author as not only a military genius, but a ruler unusually magnanimous for his time, cultured, witty, and possessing a talent for poetry, an adventurous spirit, and an acute eye for natural beauty.
