His frankness, his humorous ...
'[Ghalib] was regarded as one of the greatest Urdu (and Persian) poets ...I can think of no translator better able than Ralph Russell to turn such a writer into English.

Urdu was born, Russell writes, "out of the need of Muslim invaders of India from the 10th century onwards to create a literature in which they could communicate with their Indian subjects. Slow to gather literary momentum, it is now one of the great literatures of the area". This collection, selected and translated by Russell, includes the work by ...
