Description:
A creative and interesting biography, this study is based on the life and work of Mirza Ghalib (1797-1869) who was arguably the greatest eastern poet of the nineteenth century.
Here the two main motifs interweave- the poet’s destiny, and his creative work. Seemingly ruled by fate and predetermination, the circumstances of his life resemble the plot of a detective story. His poetry reveals itself as a wonderful testimony of harmony, spiritual power, inner freedom and intellectual capacity. It is marked with a unique sense of humor which distinguishes his poetic compositions, endearing him to his admirers, and stinging his opponents.
The author acknowledges Ghalib’s role as that of a forerunner of modern literature in the subcontinent, and believes that he represents classic world culture.
