It was published under the pseudonym Kurban Said. The novel has been published in more than 30 languages, [1] with more than editions or reprints. Tal Verlag. It is widely regarded [ by whom? There has been a good deal of interest in the authorship of Ali and Nino. The true identity behind the pseudonym " Kurban Said " has been the subject of some dispute. The case for Lev Nussimbaumaka Essad Beyas the author originally surfaced in In Tom Reiss 's Ali and Nino 1st edition bestseller The Orientalist: Solving the Mystery of a Strange and Dangerous LifeReiss makes a thorough case that the novel is the work of Nussimbaum, which continues a claim dating to Nussimbaum's correspondence and writings — and the writings of Ahmed Giamil Vacca-Mazzara in the s. The argument for Ali and Nino 1st edition was presented in a special issue of Azerbaijan International entitled Ali and Nino: The Business of Literaturein which Betty Blair argued that Nussimbaum merely embellished a manuscript of which she surmises that Chamanzaminli Ali and Nino 1st edition be the "core author," a position that had already been advanced by Chamanaminli's sons and their supporters for Ali and Nino 1st edition years. The novel's copyright holder, Leela Ehrenfels, maintains that her aunt the Baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels von Bodmershof authored the book, mainly because the book's publishing contract and subsequent catalog record identify her as Kurban Saidthough few support this as proof of her authorship. Ali and Nino is the story of an Azerbaijani youth who falls in love with a Georgian princess. Essentially, Ali and Nino 1st edition book is a quest for truth and reconciliation in a world of contradictory beliefs and practices — Islam and ChristianityEast and Westage and youthmale and female. Ali Khan Shirvanshir, a descendant of a noble Muslim family, is educated in a Russian high school for boys.

Upon graduating from high school, Ali determines to marry Nino. At first she hesitates, until Ali promises that he will not make her wear the veil, or Ali and Nino 1st edition part of a harem. Ali's father, despite his traditional Muslim view of women, supports the marriage while trying to postpone it. The book takes a dramatic turn when a Christian ArmenianMelik Nachararyan, whom Ali thought was a friend, kidnaps Nino. In retaliation, Ali pursues him on horseback, overtakes his "lacquered box" car and stabs him to death with a dagger. Contrary to the tradition of honor killing urged by Ali's friend Mehmed Heydar, Ali spares Nino's life. Ali then flees Ali and Nino 1st edition Dagestan to escape the Ali and Nino 1st edition of Nakhararyan's family. After many months, Nino finds Ali in a simple hilltown in the mountains near Makhachkala. The two marry on the spot and spend a few months in blissful poverty. As turmoil follows the Russian Revolution, Ali Khan makes some tough ideological decisions. In TehranAli is reminded of his Muslim roots, while Nino is fundamentally unhappy in the confinement of the harem. Upon establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic RepublicAli and Nino return and become cultural ambassadors of their new country. Ali is Ali and Nino 1st edition a post as ambassador to France — an idea Nino had arranged — but Ali declines, because he fears he will be unhappy in Paris. Nino flees to Georgia with their child, while Ali Khan dies in battle as the Bolsheviks take the country. The Bolshevik victory led to the establishment of Soviet domination of Azerbaijan from to and the end of the short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republicwhich lasted from May to April The film examines the disagreements over the novel's authorship. Ali and Nino was adapted as a play at the Baku Municipal Theater in The Azerbaijani theater company that staged it in also performed the play at an international theater festival in Moscow in In February an Azerbaijani news organization reported that Georgian film director Giorgi Toradze was planning to make a "documentary" about Ali and Nino 1st edition "creation" of Ali and Ninothough the description of the film in the Ali and Nino 1st edition report suggested that it would be a fictional rendition. According to the report, the project "has been submitted to the Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture and Tourism by film producer Giorgi Sturua. A moving metal sculpture created by Georgian sculptor Tamara Kvesitadze intitled "Man and Woman," which is said to have been well received at the Venice Biennale ofwas installed in Batumi, Georgia in and re-titled "Ali and Nino," after the title characters of the Kurban Said novel. The novel was reportedly Kvesitadze's inspiration for the work. See the Ali and Nino 1st edition web site [10] in which the sculpture is still titled "Man and Woman" [11] [12]. Its "originator, project leader and pianist" was Azerbaijani pianist Saida Zulfugarova. As ofthe novel is being adapted for a film by British screenwriter and playwright Christopher Hampton. For decades, there has been a controversy about the identity of Kurban Saidthe pseudonym used to hide the identity of the author of this novel. No one has located or identified any existing manuscript of Ali and Nino. The publisher, Lucy Tal, claims that all papers were deliberately destroyed Ali and Nino 1st edition the Nazis entered Vienna. The closest anyone has come to such a find is Mireille Ehrenfels-Abeille, who claims in the film Alias Kurban Said to possess half of the manuscript of The Girl From the Golden Hornthe other novel published under the name Kurban Said. In the film itself, however, she was unable to locate the manuscript in her home and said that in fact she may not have seen it for ten or twenty years. The claim that Lev Nussimbaum was the novel's author began circulating inwhen an Italian translation of the novel appeared, listing the author listed as "Mohammed Essad Bey. Of course, this Italian edition was brought to press by Dr. When the novel was translated into English by Jenia Graman and published by Random House inJohn Wain, the author of the introduction, described the figure behind the name Kurban Said, without naming him, as having the biographical attributes of Nussimbaum. Azerbaijani translator Charkaz Qurbanov, identified in the list of interviewees at the end of the film, Alias Kurban Said as "Cherkes Burbanly" identifies himself as Ali and Nino 1st edition and transliterated in the English subtitles as "Cherkes Qurbanov [22] has argued, in a discussion shown in the film Alias Kurban Saidthat "Kurban Said is the literary pseudonym of Mohammed Essad Bey. Statistics have shown, and so has my research, that the novels written by Essad Bey and Kurban Said are in exactly the same style. There is no difference. In Essad Bey's work you see Azerbeidshan [i. The discussion said "The text is German, but it is an Azerbeidshan [i. Essad Bey's German is what a real German would never use. The sentence structure shows that he is not German. There are three documents written by people who knew Nussimbaum attesting that he was the author of the book. Omar Rolf von Ehrenfels was the husband of Baroness Elfriede Ehrenfels von Bodmershof and coincidentally the father of Leela Ehrenfels, the current copyright holder. The complicated story is told by Leela Ehrenfels in "'Ali and Nino'. My way brought me shortly after that to India, from where I returned to Europe for the first time in and immediately went to visit the traditional Muslim grave of my then apparently forgotten friend which stood outside the wall of the cemetery in Positano. Lucy Tal, the spouse of E. Tal, the novel's original publisher, believed that "Essad Bey" Nussimbaum had probably written it but that she was not sure as her husband Peter Ali and Nino 1st edition dealt with the contracts but had died suddenly of a heart attack and she had fled Vienna with the Anschluss. Furthermore, she did not trust Essad Bey in regard to the contracts: "Essad sometimes was the real Oriental fairytale story teller. What was true or not true did not always bother him much. Tom Reiss has argued—first in a article in The New Yorker and then at greater length in his biography of NussimbaumThe Orientalist —that it is "almost certain that Kurban Said was a cover for him so that he could continue to receive royalties from his work. From the beginning, in and Baroness Ehrenfels held the legal copyright Ali and Nino 1st edition the works of Kurban Said[30] a copyright that has now passed by inheritance to her niece Leela Ehrenfels. Leela Ehrenfels's Ali and Nino 1st edition, Heinz Barazon, has successfully defended [ when? Reiss argues, however, that rather than being the actual author behind the name Kurban SaidBaroness Ehrenfels instead acted as an "Aryanizer" for Nussimbaum, meaning she took legal ownership of the pseudonym Kurban Said while passing income to him generated from books published under that name. Heinz Barazon, Reiss reports, pointed out that a publishing contract for Ali and Nino was signed in Vienna on April 20,well before Nussimbaum, as a Jewwould have lost the right to publish in the wake of the Anschlussor Nazi German annexation of Austriawhich took place in March Reiss counters Barazon's point by arguing that Nussimbaum had an economic incentive to publish under a pseudonym owned by his friend the Baroness Ehrenfels because, Ali and Nino 1st edition opposed to Austria and Switzerlandwhere Nussimbaum could have published under his pen name Essad BeyNazi -controlled Germany was the largest market by far for German-language publications. Reiss writes of finding "a trail of letters" in "the files of the Italian Fascist Political Police in Rome" attesting that the Nazi police apparatus had thwarted an effort by Nussimbaum to sell his work in Nazi Germany. Reiss further quotes Nussimbaum's correspondence with Baron Omar-Rolf Ehrenfels in to show that Nussimbaum received royalty payments for Kurban Said publications via Baroness Ehrenfels, whom he referred to as "Mrs. Kurban Said. Reiss also quotes letters in which Nussimbaum unequivocally Ali and Nino 1st edition being the novel's author. In one Nussimbaum states directly that he was using Baroness Ehrenfels as a legal cover in order to circumvent the ban on his work in Nazi Germany : Nussimbaum explains that Ali and Nino could still be published everywhere, since "according to the law on pseudonyms, K. A young Viennese baroness, who is even a member of the Kulturkammer! In this same letter Nussimbaum recommended to his addressee that "she buy a copy of Ali and Nino herself, bragging that it was his favorite of his own books. Thus, while Reiss has not claimed absolute proof that Nussimbaum, rather than Ehrenfels or Chamanzaminli, is the primary author, he does cite documentary evidence showing that Nussimbaum had a need in to "Aryanize" his publications in order to continue to generate income from them, was receiving income from checks written Ali and Nino 1st edition the name of Kurban Said, made several documented references identifying himself as Kurban Said, and continued to use the pseudonym on his final, unpublished manuscript Der Mann der Nichts von der Liebe Verstand. In addition to the documentary evidence Reiss offers for Lev Nussimbaum's authorship, Reiss also suggests several interpretive parallels between Nussimbaum's known life experiences and his writings under the pseudonym Essad Bey. It is not clear from Reiss's account whether Brailow had been in touch with Nussimbaum during the s, particularly in when Ali and Nino was first published in Vienna; in any case Reiss does not report that Brailow claimed receiving from Nussimbaum or anyone else any verbal or written acknowledgement of Nussimbaum's authorship. Reiss quotes Brailow, in his unpublished memoirs, as remembering that Nussimbaum had a "talent for telling stories. Reiss writes that because Zhenia Flatt "transferred her affections Reiss asserts that "though clearly juvenilia," Nussimbaum's unpublished early stories "had an irony that was instantly recognizable as the raw material of Ali and Nino and so many of the Caucasian books Lev would write. It was published in Georgian in and in German in Injia analyzed the two books, found similar and identical passages, and concluded that " Kurban Said " whom she identifies as Essad Bey deliberately transferred passages from Robakidze's novel. The claim that the Azerbaijani novelist Yusif Vazir, known popularly as Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminliis the true author of Ali and Nino appears to have begun in the preface to the Turkish edition of the novel, in which the Turkish translator Semih Yazichioghlu, claimed that Lucy Tal, the late widow of the original publisher E. Tal, had written a letter stating that in the s "a handsome young man" had "left a pile of manuscripts" that the company published in Lucy Tal unequivocally denied having written the statement, calling the assertions "monstrous claims. Chamanzaminli's late sons Orkhan and Fikret have continued to make the claim. They began advocating for it at least by the s after the first Azeri translation of Ali and Nino was published in An earlier Azeri translation had been made inbut a complete rendering in Azeri, by Mirza Khazar, Ali and Nino 1st edition published for the first time, serially, in three issues of the magazine Azerbaijan in Chamanzaminli had been in a romantic relationship with a girlfriend named Nina who, he argued, became "Nino" in the novel. They met here in the park, just like in the novel. He was nineteen and she was seventeen. A short story by Chamanzaminli, published inautobiographical in Ali and Nino 1st edition, featured a starving writer in Paris in the mids when Chamanzaminli was there who works as a ghostwriter producing articles under the signature of someone else and getting only 25 percent of the earnings for them. Blair offers this as a clue that Chamanzaminli had in realitynot in fiction, produced writings that appeared under others' signatures. Blair implicitly conjectures that the novel must have also passed out of his possession and that he thus lost the capacity to receive credit for its writing. Fikret Vezirov has proffered the claim that Chamanzaminli had to hide his Ali and Nino 1st edition behind the name Kurban Said so that he would not be identified with the anti-Bolshevik views contained in Ali and Nino. If Chamanzaminli had a copy of the manuscript, Vezirov said, it must have been among those Vezirov reports Chamanzaminli burning in [ citation needed ] when Chamanzaminli fell under the suspicion of the KGB.
