How were these perceptions propagated by historians and scholars, poets, dramatists and fiction writers of the period? For the first time, Shahin Kuli Khan Khattak brings to life Victorian Britain's conceptions and misconceptions of the Muslim World using a thorough investigation of varied cultural sources of the period. She discovers the prevailing representation of Muslims and Islam in the two major spheres of British influence - India and the Ottoman Empire - was reinforced by reoccurring themes: through literature and entertainment the public saw 'the Mahomedan' as the 'noble savage', a perception reinforced through travel writing and fiction of the 'exotic east' and the 'Arabian Nights'. Islam and the Victorians will be an important contribution to understanding the apprehensions and misapprehensions about Islam in the nineteenth century, providing a fascinating historical backdrop to many of today's concerns. 08Islam04.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2014). 2014 1st English translation. 8vo paperback (159 x 235mm). Ppxviii,152. Colour illustrations. Some shelf wear, cover rather bumped, but a new, unread copy. Signed (in Urdu) by the translator. The poet-solider Khushal Khan Khattak was chief of the Khattaks, a Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan and what is now Pakistan. Khushal Khan Khattak wrote this book in Pashto, the main language of Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and is one of the greats of Pashto literature. The Book of Falconry is a manual of falconry written in verse, and is here translated into English by Sami ur Rahman. It "is a rare work in verse, surviving from the classical Mughal era. It covers the whole gamut of the field, including trapping, training, manning, colours, types, furniture, hatching, diseases, and medicine. The dark-eyed, known as the long-winged in the West, make for a large part of the text and the species discussed are the saker, the Altai falcon, gyrfalcon, shaheen, peregrine, laggar, and red-headed merlin. Among the yellow-eyed, or the short-winged, it is the goshawk, sparrowhawk, shikra, and besra, etc. Dealing with the subject matter in a concise, compact, and cogent manner, the poet gives the kingly sport an aesthetic and philosophical touch. The style and diction is down-to-earth and easy to follow. Apart from its historical and literary importance, this manual enjoys a great practical value, as some of the basic principles mentioned are as relevant today as they were three and a half centuries ago." Only 500 copies were printed, 450 of which were sold immediately at the book's launch at the Abu Dhabi Falconry Festival. INCORRECT - Sami says 1000 printed. .

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Khushal Khan Khattak was a celebrated warrior and Pashtun poet who initially served as a loyal subject of the Mughal Empire which had to protect itself from the attacks of Pashtun warriors, before rebelling against its authority. He was born in 1613 and died in 1689. After being expelled from his tribal chiefdom and replaced with his son by his Mughal superiors, Khushal Khan turned against the Mughals. Afterwards, Khushal preached the union of all Pashtuns, and encouraged revolt against the Mughal Empire, promoting Pashtun nationalism in the last years of his life through poetry. Much of Khushal's poetry is in Pashto but some is also in Persian. Khushal is considered the 'father of Pashto literature' and the national poet of Afghanistan.His life can be split in two parts: the first part was dedicated to his service of the Moghul empire while in the second part of his life he focused on the unification of the divided Pashtun tribes. The reason why he started his rebellion against the Moghul Empire was his imprisonment by them. After his liberation from prison, he started taking contact to other Pashtun tribes to organize the resistance against the Moghul Empire. The poet's family has a long tradition of brave warriors serving the Moghul Empire. He learnt Islam sciences from the Sufi Saint Sayyid Kastir Gul, known as Sheikh Rahamkar. His poems are full of faith to Allah, love to a woman closing his heart to him, and full of pain because of the deterioration of the ethics and honor of his people. In addition, the poems contain many elements of nature, in particular mountain roads and flowers, in particular the tulips and roses. The language of Khushal is full of symbols and metaphors and contains rich references to the Quran and to old Arabic and Islamic poetry. His life and destiny are dictated by Allah, the Almighty. However, the acceptance of destiny means dynamic struggle and hard work in the life on earth which is short as the poet reminds us.
