Naseem Hijazi bookshelf:

Since the early period of Urdu literature, writers have used historic settings as background for their novels. Naseem Hijazi was a master novelist from Indo-pak subcontinent who presented various historical events in the form of fiction. Creating popular fiction out of something as dry as history is not something every writer can do. He had an amazing imagination and his narrative was so strong that there was never a dull moment in his novels. Another strong feature of Hijazi’s fiction was his absolutely flawless characterization. He would create a perfect character of a Punjabi villager or a sub caste Hindu and an Umayyad Sultan with equal finesse. His characters were very strong and real. Naseem Hijazi was a sentimentalist. He could reduce his readers to tears with his moving accounts of love and war. His more than a dozen historical novels are widely read and appreciated among the Urdu speaking audience around the globe. He is rightfully considered the greatest novelist in the genre of historic novel. Naseem Hijazi was a master of bringing a historical setting to life and make it seem like a mirror image of reality. Though most of the contents of his novels are based on historical sources, there are some aspects which may not have a historical origin and could possibly have made into the novels based on their fictional flavor. Overall, these novels are considered to be a great treasure from the historical and literary perspectives, and provide a great source of motivation and enthusiasm to their readers.
