Although his primary allegiance is to his family’s Islamic faith, Ali is increasingly drawn to Western ideas. Most scholars believe the novel was written by Lev Nussimbaum, a Jewish convert to Islam, although others argue that Nussimbaum plagiarized the work of Azerbaijani author Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli.Īli Khan is the eighteen-year-old son of an illustrious Muslim family in Baku. Ali and Nino is regarded internationally as a major literary achievement, and in Azerbaijan, it is considered the “national novel.” However, the author’s identity remains a mystery. Set in Baku, Azerbaijan, during the war-torn period of 1914 to 1920, the novel concerns the passionate romance of Ali Khan Shirvanshir, a young Muslim nobleman, and Nino Kipiani, a Christian noblewoman from Georgia. Ali and Nino is a 1937 novel by the pseudonymous author Kurban Said.
