| Summary |
First published in Urdu in 1972, this book captures in rich detail the cultural, social, economic and spiritual fabric of Delhi over seven centuries, using original literary, travel, biographical, hagiographical and administrative accounts in Persian, Hindavi and Urdu. Ather Farouqui's translation, which has made this important book accessible to a wider readership, does justice to Nizami's simple, conversational style, which is yet replete with literary allusions |
