Description

Muhammad Said Ordubadi (1872-1950) - the writer's real name was Muhammad, and Said was a literary pen name, the choice of which was not accidental. Said means 'happy' in Arabic. He was the founder of the genre of the historical novel in Azerbaijani literature. The social contradictions of Azerbaijani society were reflected in the novels 'The Struggling City' (1938) and 'Underground Baku' (1940). In 1946-1948, in the novel 'Sword and Pen' (1946-48), set in medieval Azerbaijan, the writer tells of the great Azerbaijani poet and thinker Nizami Ganjavi. The author managed to recreate the atmosphere of medieval Ganja with almost documentary precision. Ordubadi wrote the librettos for several operas: 'Nargiz,' 'Koroglu,' and 'Nizami.'
