“…Nizami (1141-1209) is the greatest poet of Azerbaijan and one of the most significant poets in the whole of Asia. His poetry was written in Farsi. He invented the idea of Utopia in the 12th century and his poem ‘Leyla and Majnun’ has the roots of the Romeo and Juliet story in it. Apart from encapsulating 1,000 years of poetic tradition, he uses the most progressive thoughts, metaphors and symbols from the 12th century and you really feel connected to the time when you read him.
