This selection of his work is the first to be translated into English. Obeyd was a remarkable satirist and social critic who looked upon his world of extravagant indulgence and corruption with the censorious eyes of a Juvenal, and portrayed it with the cynicism and wit of a Voltaire, and the hilarious grotesqueness of a Rabelais. He used scathing stories and sardonic maxims to paint a world full of deceit, greed, lust, sycophancy, and perversion, where old values and virtues were scorned and extremes of wealth and poverty, violence and bloodshed were the order of the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nizam Al-Din Ubayd Zakani, Obeyd-E Zakani, Nezam Al Obeyd-E Zakani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1933823224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933823225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mage Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.98w x 0.35d","brand":"Nizam Al-Din Ubayd Zakani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983823667455,"sku":"9781933823225","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39d92d04-2b52-4d97-8efc-6a9130cd5959.jpg?v=1683268931","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/obeyd-e-zakani-ethics-of-the-nizam-al-din-ubayd-zakani-9781933823225","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
