The true identity of the author behind the pseudonym Kurban Said remains a matter of debate. His famous novel, "Ali and Nino," was first published in Vienna in 1937.

The book's characters triumphantly returned to bookstore shelves to become one of the most famous couples of the 20th century. Today, the novel has been translated into thirty-three languages, plays and films have been made based on it, and a monument to its heroes has been erected in Batumi.
On the eve of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the ardent Muslim Ali and the beautiful Christian Nino fell in love. They have little hope of uniting their destinies, as such a union is forbidden by religion and customs.
