The Baburnama: Memoirs of Babur, Prince and Emperor (Modern

The Baburnama: Memoirs of Babur, Prince and Emperor (Modern Library Classics)

Both an official chronicle and the highly personal memoir of the emperor Babur (1483â€“1530), The Baburnama presents a vivid and extraordinarily detailed picture of life in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India during the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries. Baburâ€™s honest and intimate chronicle is the first autobiography in Islamic literature, written at a time when there was no historical precedent for a personal narrativeâ€”now in a sparkling new translation by Islamic scholar Wheeler Thackston.
