List of works published under a pseudonym

This is a list of books published under a pseudonym.

Ali and Nino published in the German language in 1937 by E.P. Tal in Vienna under the pseudonym Kurban Said, now known to be written by Core Author Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli. Chamanzaminli who had opposed the Bolshevik takeover of Baku in 1920 couldn't dare have risked having his name associated with a novel opposing the Bolsheviks especially since he wanted desperately to return home to Azerbaijan from Europe in 1926. The fingerprints related to folkloric and legendary descriptions (often erroneous) can be traced to Essad Bey, and material about travels to Tiflis and Persia were plagiarized from Grigol Robakidze. Elfriede Ehrenfels registered the pseudonym Kurban Said under her name but there is no proof that she wrote the book herself.
