{"product_id":"ali-and-nino","title":"Ali and Nino","description":"\u003cp\u003eKurban Said\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst published in Vienna in 1937, this classic story of romance and adventure has been compared to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDr. Zhivago\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.  Its mysterious author was recently the subject of a feature article in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, which has inspired a forthcoming biography. Out of print for nearly three decades until the hardcover re-release last year, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAli and Nino\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Kurban Said's masterpiece. It is a captivating novel as evocative of the exotic desert landscape as it is of the passion between two people pulled apart by culture, religion, and war.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is the eve of World War I in Baku, Azerbaijan, a city on the edge of the Caspian Sea, poised precariously between east and west.  Ali Khan Shirvanshir, a Muslim schoolboy from a proud, aristocratic family, has fallen in love with the beautiful and enigmatic Nino Kipiani, a Christian girl with distinctly European sensibilities.   To be together they must overcome blood feud and scandal, attempt a daring horseback rescue, and travel from the bustling street of oil-boom Baku, through starkly beautiful deserts and remote mountain villages, to the opulent palace of Ali's uncle in neighboring Persia.  Ultimately the lovers are drawn back to Baku, but when war threatens their future, Ali is forced to choose between his loyalty to the beliefs of his Asian ancestors and his profound devotion to Nino.  Combining the exotic fascination of a tale told by Scheherazade with the range and magnificence of an epic, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAli and Nino\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a timeless classic of love in the face of
