Description
The Great Moghuls: A Unique Picture of India's Glorious Past Bamber Gascoigne's book tells the story of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when India was ruled by the extraordinary dynasty of emperors known as the 'Great Moghuls'. This period was marked by almost limitless power and incomparable wealth, and Gascoigne's book offers a unique insight into the way of life of India's most flamboyant rulers. From their sublime palaces to their passions, art, science, and religion, the Great Moghuls were a sophisticated and fascinating people. Their system of administration, which stabilized much of India, was later adopted by the British. Beautifully illustrated in colour, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in India's glorious past and achievements.
