Days in the Caucasus or Caucasian Days (French: Jours caucasiens) is a memoir by the French writer of Azeri origin Banine, published in Paris in 1945. Ummulbanu Asadullayeva, to give Banine her full name, was the granddaughter of peasants who had become fabulously wealthy through the discovery and sale of oil. In Days in the Caucasus she recalls her upbringing in oil-boom Baku by a Baltic German governess and a devoutly Muslim grandmother who swore like a trooper. It's a tale of East meets West: of pogroms, revolution, end of empire, coming of age, forced marriage and multiple escapes – to Persia, Georgia and eventually Paris.

  • Days in the Caucasus or Caucasian Days (French: Jours caucasiens) is a memoir by the French writer of Azeri origin Banine, published in Paris in 1945. Ummulbanu Asadullayeva, to give Banine her full name, was the granddaughter of peasants who had become fabulously wealthy through the discovery and sale of oil. In Days in the Caucasus she recalls her upbringing in oil-boom Baku by a Baltic German governess and a devoutly Muslim grandmother who swore like a trooper. It's a tale of East meets West: of pogroms, revolution, end of empire, coming of age, forced marriage and multiple escapes – to Persia, Georgia and eventually Paris. It describes the history of Azerbaijan in the 1910s and 1920s, its national culture, mores and customs, drawing on the author's reminiscences. The first English translation of the memoir by Anne Thompson-Ahmadova, with the title Days in the Caucasus, was published in London in 2019. (en)
