The Tale of Mubtala

Summary

⟦1⟧ Deputy Nazir Ahmad’s 1885 novel follows Mubtila, a young man from Delhi whose desire for a second wife and a freer life brings ruin upon his household. Written as a warning against polygamy and idleness, it tells the story of a single family across fifty-four short chapters, in plain Urdu and with ample detail of domestic life. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
