| Book Description |
| |
| This book presents a selection from the Urdu verse of Ghalib (1797-1869), the greatest (in the translator's opinion) of all the poets of Urdu and Persian that the subcontinent has produced. This selection has been specially selected to exclude those of his verses which are replete with illusions which present-day readers would not understand. In order to serve the needs of the widest possible readership the couplets are given in English translation, and then in Roman, Urdu, and Devanagari. Born in 1918, Ralph Russell read Classics and Geography at St. John's College, Cambridge. His first acquaintance with Urdu was during compulsory military service in India during the war. After the war, his interest in Urdu led to his joining the staff of the School of Oriental and African Studies, where he soon became a Reader. He is the co-author, with Khurshidul Islam, of Three Mughal Poets (1968) and Ghalib: Life and Letters (1969). |
