Publisher's Synopsis

The Bagh-O-Behar is a classic Urdu novel written by Mir Amman Dihlavi and published in 1851. The book is set in the Mughal era and tells the story of a young prince named Amir Hamza and his adventures. The novel is divided into two parts, Bagh (Garden) and Behar (Ocean), each containing several stories. The Bagh section is mainly about the love story of Amir Hamza and his beloved princess Mehr Nigar. The Behar section, on the other hand, is a collection of stories about the adventures of Amir Hamza and his companions as they travel across different countries and encounter various magical creatures and monsters. The novel is known for its rich language, vivid descriptions, and intricate plot. It is considered a masterpiece of Urdu literature and an important contribution to the genre of dastan (epic storytelling).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
