About the author

'Ali-Shir Nava'i, also known as Nizām-al-Din ʿAli-Shir Herawī (Chagatai Turkic/Persian: نظام‌الدین علی‌شیر نوایی‎), was a Turkic poet, writer, politician, linguist, mystic and painter who was the greatest representative of Chagatai literature.

Because of his distinguished Chagatai language poetry, Nava'i is considered by many throughout the Turkic-speaking world to be the founder of early Turkic literature. Many places and institutions in Central Asia are named after him.

For a 14-year-old girl it was difficult to understand why she's crying over a book. But that book ripped my heart out. So beautiful, beautifully written, beautiful plot, and beautiful experience! Literally the gem of Eastern classic literature
