Babur: The First Moghul in India blends the rigour of history with the imaginative breath of fiction to recreate the life of one of the world's most enigmatic rulers. Born a descendant of both Tamerlane and Genghis Khan, Babur was at once warrior, poet, mystic and dreamer. From the rugged hills of Kabul to the plains of Hindustan, his journey unfolded in a dazzling tapestry of battles, love and lyrical reflection. Reckless yet deeply human, Babur embraced existence with joy and faced death with serenity, even offering his life in exchange for his son's. Farzana Moon's narrative illuminates not only the Moghul empire's foundations but also the inner soul of its first emperor, whose mirth and passion infused his legacy. At once epic and intimate, this book evokes a man who shaped history.

Farzana Moon, a teacher, poet, playwright and historian, was born and educated in Pakistan, and is now a citizen of the United States. Her poetry and prose have appeared in literary journals across the US, and her plays—including one based on the Mahabharata—have drawn the attention of numerous publishers. A prolific author, she has written extensively on the great Moghul emperors, blending history with literary imagination. Her works include The Moghul Exile, Divine Akbar and Holy India, The Moghul Hedonist, Glorious Taj and Beloved Immortal, and Sufis and Mystics of the World.
