Condition: Sehr gut. 272 p.: ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Sehr guter Zustand, Schutzumschlag leicht bestoßen / Very good condition, dust jacket slightly scuffed Good condition, cover partly slightly scuffed at corners. Dust jacket a little worn. - For at least eight centuries, the oral romance cycle about Amir Hamzah has entertained audiences all over the Islamic world, from Iran to Indonesia. With the help of a trickster companion, Amir Hamzah slays ferocious lions, conquers cruel bandits and mighty warriors, enables the Persian emperor to preserve his throne, and marries a number of lovely women. His prowess causes him to be snatched up into the legendary realm of Qaf, and he is unable to return to the world for eighteen extraordinary years. The Romance Tradition in Urdu offers the first study of the Hamzah cycle as it developed in South Asia where its lavish growth made it, over time, into the single greatest flowering of Indo-Persian and Urdu romance literature. Frances Pritchett provides extensive translated excerpts from the most popular Urdu version of the romance, for the story was always cherished as an inexhaustible source of narrative material. The result is a work of interest both to scholars of romance, folk literature, and Islamic cultural history and to all readers who enjoy a good story.
