The Baburnama:

memoirs of Babur, prince and emperor

Babur (Emperor of Hindustan), Wheeler McIntosh Thackston

Random House Publishing Group, Sep 10, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 554 pages

Both an official chronicle and the highly personal memoir of the emperor Babur (1483–1530), The Baburnama presents a vivid and extraordinarily detailed picture of life in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India during the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries. Babur’s honest and intimate chronicle is the first autobiography in Islamic literature, written at a time when there was no historical precedent for a personal narrative—now in a sparkling new translation by Islamic scholar Wheeler Thackston.

This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes notes, indices, maps, and illustrations.
