In brief
Nizami Ganjavi spent his life in Ganja. His five poems — the Treasury of Mysteries, Khosrow and Shirin, Layla and Majnun, the Seven Beauties and the Iskandarnameh — together form the Khamsa.
His plots passed into miniature painting, theatre, opera and film. Baku's central street, the literature museum and the mausoleum in Ganja all carry his name.
