The exemplar of Indo-Persian history, at once a biography of Emperor Akbar and a chronicle of sixteenth-century Mughal India.\n\nAkbarnama, or The History of Akbar, by Abu'l-Fazl (d. 1602), is one of the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry. Marking a high point in a long, rich tradition of Persian historical writing, it served as a model for historians across the Persianate world. The work is at once a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605) that includes descriptions of political and martial feats and cultural achievements, and a chronicle of sixteenth-century India.\n\nThe seventh volume details the twenty-ninth to thirty-eighth years of Akbar's reign, including accounts of the marriage of his son and heir Salim (Jahangir); conquests of Swat, Orissa, Kashmir, Sind, and the Saurashtra Peninsula; the pacification of Bengal; and the emperor's visits to Kashmir, the Punjab, and Kabul.\n\nThe Persian text, presented in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.

‘I will carry this story, and the people in it, with me for the rest of my life’ John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars\n\nCyrus Shams is lost.\n\nEver since his mother’s plane was senselessly shot down over the Persian Gulf when he was just a baby, Cyrus has been grappling with her death. Now, newly sober, he is set to learn the truth of her life.\n\nWhen an encounter with a dying artist leads Cyrus towards the mysteries of his past - an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as an Angel of Death, a haunting work of art by an exiled painter – he finds himself once again caught up in the story of his mother, who may not have been who or what she seemed. As Cyrus searches for meaning in the scattered clues of his life, a final revelation transforms everything he thought he knew.\n\nElectrifying, funny, wholly original, and profound, Martyr! heralds the arrival of a blazing and essential new voice in contemporary fiction.\n\n'An absolute jewel of a novel. I haven’t loved a book this much in years’ Tommy Orange, author of There, There

Cyrus Shams è un ragazzo alle prese con un'eredità fatta di violenza e perdita: l'aereo dove viaggia la madre viene abbattuto nei cieli del Golfo Persico in un tragico incidente; il padre, alla ricerca di un futuro diverso in America, si ritrova costretto a lavorare in un mattatoio di polli nel Midwest. Cyrus si ritrova a fare i conti con un’esistenza segnata dalla solitudine e dalla dipendenza da alcol e droghe. Ma Cyrus ha anche talento e una fascinazione molto peculiare: quella per il martirio, non inteso come sacrificio estremo per la fede o la gloria, ma come devozione per il bene degli altri. Questa ossessione lo porterà a guardare con occhi nuovi ai fantasmi del proprio passato - la visione di uno strano zio che cavalca sulle praterie dell’Iran come uno strampalato angelo della morte portando conforto ai moribondi; la scoperta di un’immagine diversa della madre in un quadro scovato per caso in una galleria d’arte - trovando infine un senso pieno e compiuto alla propria esistenza.\r\nMartire! di Kaveh Akbar celebra la costante ricerca di significato nelle nostre vite, nella fede, nell'arte, in noi stessi, negli altri.

Leila does for the barbarity of contemporary Indian nationalism what The Handmaid's Tale did for the yoke of patriarchy. It is urgent, gripping, topical, disturbing, and announces a talent we'll be talking about for years to come. - Neel Mukherjee\n\nSoon to be adapted for the screen as a Netflix Original\n\nEvery year on Leila's birthday Shalini kneels by the wall with a little yellow spade and scoops dry earth to make a pit for two candles. One each for herself and for Riz, the husband at her side.\n\nBut as Shalini walks from the patch of grass where she held her vigil the man beside her melts away. It is sixteen years since they took her, her daughter's third birthday party, the last time she saw the three people she loves most dearly: her mother, her husband, her child.
