About this book

In this bilingual edition of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's mature work, Naomi Lazard captures his universal appeal: a voice of great pathos, charm, and authenticity that has until now been little known in the English-speaking world.

Originally published in 1987.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
