Kurban Said was the pseudonym of Lev Nussimbaum, who grew up in Baku and died in Italy in 1942. (Bowker Author Biography) The life of Kurban Said is shrouded in mystery--a story as exotic and elusive as his writings. Lev Naussimbaum (alias Essad Bey alias Kurban Said) was, it is believed, born in Baku in 1905, the son of a German governess and a show more Jewish businessman. He died in Positano, Italy, in 1942.
