Aprašymas

First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity, alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILLIAMS JACKSON (1862-1937), professor of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of the British Empire. Volume IV, Part 2 of Mediæval India from the Mohammedan Conquest to the Reign of Akbar the Great, by British scholar STANLEY LANE-POOLE (1854-1931), features entertaining and enlightening treatments of: - the united empire of Akbar the Great - Akbar's reforms: the divine faith - the great Moghul and European travellers - Shah Jahan the Magnificent - Aurangzib, the puritan emperor - the fall of the Moghul empire - and much more. This beautiful replica of the 1906 first edition includes all the original illustrations.
