Soft cover. Condizione: New. A Most Noble Life is the extraordinary story of Ashrafunnisa Begum, who was born in an obscure village in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, taught herself to read and write, in secret, against the wishes of her elders and prevailing norms, and went on to teach and inspire generations of young girls at the Victoria Girls' Schoolthe first school for girls in Lahore. Her unusual life was written about with great poignancy by Muhammadi Begumthe first woman to edit a journal in Urdu, and a prolific writer of fiction and poetry for adults and children, and instructional books for women during her brief life. She aptly titled the biography Hayat-e Ashraf: it echoes the name of her subject, but also means 'the noblest life'. The two women, who met by chance at a wedding, instantly developed a strong mutual affinity, which grew into a lifelong bond. In Ashrafunnisa Begum, Muhammadi Begum saw not only the mother she had lost as a child, but also an inspiring role model who had led a principled life of her own making, and shown amazing grace and strength against grave odds. This is the first complete English translation of Hayat-e Ashraf (1904). The translator, a longtime scholar of Urdu literature and culture, also provides the first detailed study of the life and works of its author, Muhammadi Begum, and highlights in an 'Afterword' two key social issues of the time, women's literacy and widow remarriage, which remain as relevant today. An absorbing narrative, observant, witty and poignant, lovingly translated and annotated by C. M. Naim, it affords us precious and candid glimpses of ordinary Muslim women in the nineteenth century who, unknown to themselves, led less than ordinary lives.…

First Edition. Original privately printed 105 page shooting script for the Robin Williams film The Final Cut written by Omar Naim. Signed by Robin Williams to a member of the crew: ÒTo Marci, all my love, Robin WilliamsÓ at a color photo of Robin Williams in character. Beautifully bound in purple cloth and quarter purple leather with bright gilt-stamping to the front board and spine, decorative endpapers, 8 5/8 inches by 11 1/4 inches. All edges are gilt. Minor sunning to the spine and a few minor scuffs to the gilt-stamping at the front board, else fine. Unbeknownst to the many admirers of Robin Williams was that he was a lover of books. Over the years, Williams had his own private press specially printing on fine papers and handsomely binding editions of the screenplays of some of the films he appeared in. They were all printed in very small quantities. Williams would sign them and then they would be sent to members of the cast and crew of the productions. As a unique item, this is a special opportunity to honor and celebrate WilliamsÕs love of his craft, his love of books, and his appreciation of the people who helped to bring his films to life. The Final Cut was written and directed by Omar Naim, starring Robin Williams Jim Caviezel, and Mira Sorvino. The film tells the story set in the near future where one in twenty people have a device implanted at their birth which records what the host sees over a lifetime. Robin Williams plays a ÒcutterÓ - someone who edits these memories, removing the bad ones, so that the family can have a ÒrememoryÓ of their loved oneÕs life. Trouble arises when he encounters some very damning memories in the implant of an early tech executive who helped to develop the science behind the implantÕs functioning and gets caught up in a far-reaching criminal scheme.…
