Aakar Books Yusuf And Zuleika The Return Of The Despot by Murzban Jal
This book is a philosophico-aesthetical critique of the Stalinist counterrevolution in the Soviet Union that strengthened the rise of liberal democracy and fascism in Europe & the entire world. As aesthetics it recalls the unity of truth, ethics and the creative of the sublime feeling of revolutionary enthusiasm. This book redrafts Goethe s verse and depicts Yusuf, the legendary figure in West Asian folklore as a hero who gives rise to a counterrevolutionary. This here is also the metamorphosis of Yusuf I into Yusuf II whocomes onto the scene of 20th century history as Josef Stalin, the counter revolutionary par excellence. The ideas of the Asiatic mode of production and caste are also central to this book such that authentic humanity could be born.
