Nizami Ganjavi (c. 1141-1209), born in Ganja in what is now Azerbaijan, is among the supreme poets of classical Persian literature and one of the towering figures of world poetry: Goethe counted him among the seven greatest poets of all time, and his five long narrative poems, collectively known as the "Khamsa" or "Quintet," gave rise to an entire tradition of imitation and response across the Persianate world, inspiring later "quintets" by Amir Khusrau Dehlavi, Jami, and Alisher Navoi. This 1946 Moscow edition gathers all five poems in Russian verse translation - "The Treasury of Secrets," "Khosrow and Shirin," "Layla and Majnun," "The Seven Beauties," and the historical epic "Iskandarnameh" (on Alexander the Great) - each rendered by a leading Soviet poet-translator (Marietta Shaginyan, Konstantin Lipskerov, Pavel Antokolsky, Vladimir Derzhavin, and the team of Boris Lebedev, Alexander Keykhauz, and Sergei Shervinsky), framed by an extensive introductory study and commentary from Evgeny Bertels, the foremost Soviet Iranologist of his generation. Issued on the eve of the Soviet Union's nationwide celebration of Nizami's 800th anniversary in 1947 - a major cultural-political event that saw a new mausoleum raised over the poet's grave in Ganja and Nizami installed as the emblematic classical poet of Soviet Azerbaijan - this substantial one-volume "Five Poems" was among the most important literary monuments of that jubilee campaign, and it remains the standard mid-century Russian rendering of the complete Khamsa. The volume is illustrated by Lev Bruni (1894-1948), a prominent Soviet painter and book artist with roots in the pre-revolutionary avant-garde.
