Topal Teymur[1][2][3][4][5] – is a play, historic drama[4] in five acts written by Huseyn Javid, an Azerbaijani poet and playwright, in 1925.[1][3] Topal Teymur is a 1926 play about Timur, the Central Asian conqueror. It premiered in 1926 in Baku.[6]
It was considered that the poet idealized feudal conquerors[1][3][6] and that “Timur was idealized with his ideas of consolidation of Turkic, Tatar, and Mongolian peoples under the flag of integrated Turan Empire.”[7] Some people said that there is a detachment toward modernity[2] in the play and some found out nationalistic motifs.[8]
