Also the Baburnama
Babur, the first of the Moghul emperors of India, describes his earlier years adventuring in what is now Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, in what has been described as the first Islamic memoir. Thackston's great recent translation of this work, The Baburnama, provides a vivid background to the present scene, replete with personalities and places.
