Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the life and work of arguably the greatest eastern poet of the nineteenth century, Mizra Ghalib (1797-1869), this book presents a creative and interesting biography. The narration is based on the interweaving of two main motifs - the poet's destiny and his creative work. His poetry reveals itself as a wonderful testimony of harmony, spritual power, inner freedom, intellectual capacity and a marked and original sense of humour, which distinguished his poetic compositions, endeared him to his admirers and stung his opponents.
