A devoted warrior who fought by the bloodthirsty standards of his time, Babur was also a gifted scholar and ethnographer, and his memoir, <b>The Baburnama</b>--which translator and editor Wheeler Thackston heralds as the first autobiography in Islamic literature--paints a fascinating portrait of the lands he conquered, such as Hindustan: "A strange country. Compared to ours, it is another world. Its mountains, rivers, forests, and wildernesses, its villages and provinces, animals and plants, peoples and languages, even its rain and winds are altogether different." They were different indeed, and we're fortunate to have this beautifully illustrated record of Babur's wonderment at the new places he saw. 134638 10 9 2002 The Baburnama: Memoirs of Babur, Prince and Emperor (Modern Library Classics) total:18|5:6|4:5|3:4|2:3|1:0| 18 68 42 5 4 0 false false Sat Nov 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 18:15:21 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 17:40:32 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 19:55:39 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 20:00:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 17:28:18 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 22:20:39 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 17:28:18 -0700 2009 Best incarnation of babur - The one that got high all the time and would gallop home asleep because he was so drunk
