Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 64 poems and prose pieces that belong to the oral tradition of the Baloch people, an ancient, semi-nomadic tribe from the deserts of Central Asia. The poems date from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries and offer a deep insight into Baloch culture, history, and values. The author includes detailed notes that provide context and illuminate the nuances and complexities of each piece. The author adeptly classifies the poems into heroic ballads, war ballads, romantic ballads, and religious and didactic poems. Many of the heroic and war ballads share a common story cycle that revolves around the thirty-year war between the Rind and Lashari tribes. These poems provide a glimpse into the intertribal conflicts, alliances, and betrayals that have shaped Baloch history. The authorâs meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in Baloch culture.
