Alisher Navoiy: Roman

Alisher Navoi: A Novel (АЛИШЕР НАВОИЙ: Роман) is a historical novel by Isajon Sulton exploring the life, character, intellectual world, and enduring legacy of Alisher Navoi, the great fifteenth-century Central Asian poet, thinker, statesman, and champion of the Chagatai literary tradition. Against the rich cultural and political landscape of the Timurid era, the novel brings to life a period of profound artistic achievement and intellectual ferment, while portraying Navoi as both a towering literary figure and a deeply human individual confronting the responsibilities of power, friendship, faith, and creativity. Written with an appreciation for Uzbekistan’s literary and cultural heritage, the work offers readers an accessible literary portrait of one of the most important figures in the history of Central Asian literature. Published in 2021 by Adabiyot in Tashkent, this edition is a fitting contribution to the modern literary tradition surrounding Navoi and his remarkable legacy.
