Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. Bamber Gascoignes classic book revisits perhaps the most fascinating period of Indian history, the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the vast country was ruled by its most extraordinarily talented dynasty of emperors. Because of their virtually limitless power and incomparable wealth, these remarkable rulers came to be known to European travelers as the Great Moguls. In vital, colorful detail gleaned from meticulous research Gascoigne here presents in all their splendor the palaces of these magnificent moguls at the same time that he examines their passions, their arts, their science and religion, and above all, their sophisticated system of administration, which stabilized the greater part of India to such a successful degree that it was later adopted by the British. Acclaimed by travelers and scholars alike, and beautifully illustrated in color with 16 pages of photographs, Gascoignes A Brief History of the Great Moguls offers to anyone with an interest in Indias glorious past an engaging survey of a splendid culture and its singular achievements. Entertainingly written history . ravishingly beautiful photographs.-The Times (London) Extremely readable.-Times Literary Supplement. Codice articolo DADAX0786710403
