 Sands of Oxus
Sadriddin Aini (1878-1954) was one of the reformist intellectuals of Russian-ruled Central Asia (Jadids) who in the early 1920s joined the Bolsheviks to overthrow the Emirate of Bukhara and propagate the revolution in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
The first volume of Aini's unfinished Reminiscences is a first-person account both of a traditional Iranian-Islamic society on the eve of a fateful transition, and of a precocious boy's rites of passage to literary preeminence.
Aini's mood ranges from humor through satire to pathos, and his critical and didactic ends are served more often in the narrative itself than in overt sermonizing.
