During the 30s of the last century, the fame of the mysterious &#;Azerbaijani prince&#; Essad Bey, author of several volumes translated to many languages and friend of renowned intellectuals of the time spread all over Europe and the world. Yet, despite the fact that his name, now almost forgotten in the West, has appeared on numerous books, articles and essays, and still remains carved on a grave in a small cemetery overlooking the sea near Naples, the noble Muslim Essad Bey, in certain respects, has never existed.
Lev Nussimbaum, a Jew of Russian origin was born in (in Baku, as he claimed; in Kiev, as his birth certificate shows; on a train traveling between Europe and Asia, as he asserted later, when the German police tracked down his true origin and as it would be symbolically very fitting to him). There are no official documents about the death, nor is there a tomb to preserve the memory of his name. Lev Nussimbaum disappears in Berlin in , the same year and in the same place where and when Essad Bey appears for the first time. Both names, Lev and Essad, mean &#;lion&#; in their respective languages

Under this name and the pseudonym Kurban Said, he wrote numerous novels, including Ali and Nino about a love affair between a Christian woman and a Muslim man in Azerbaijan. He also wrote biographies of Mohammed and Stalin and began a book on Mussolini, which remained unfinished. As a Jew he was banned from publishing, fled to Italy, and died in Positano at the age of He leaves behind an extensive literary oeuvre and a lot of questions. The Disorientalists explore these in their stage play.
