	Umrao Jan Ada by Mirza Muhammad Hadi Ruswa

	Your Price : Rs 175.00

Translated from the Urdu by Khushwant Singh.

Umrao Jan Ada is perhaps one of the most enigmatic and forgotten female figures in South Asian Literature. The question of her existence, her beauty, her scholarly abilities and her poetic gift remain a mystery.

The book is an account of Umrao`s life as a Lucknawi courtesan, a nautch girl, delivered in first person by Umrao herself, and documented by a close friend.

Written more than a hundred years ago, the novel recreates the gracious ambience of old Lucknow and takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the palaces of wealthy nawabs, the hideouts of the colorful vagabonds and the luxurious abodes of the city`s courtesans. ISBN - 8122203930
