Akbar, India's Greatest Mughal

Beschreibung

Deeply researched and beautifully written, Parvati Sharma's portrait of Akbar the Great brings alive as never before a man imperfect and extraordinary, who ruled for fifty years and has lived in the Indian imagination for close to half a millennium.

Autor

Parvati Sharma's debut The Dead Camel and Other Stories of Love earned her a cult following for its depictions of love and sexuality in urban India, and its 'lightness [and] lucidity'. She has also written a novella, Close to Home,and two books for children, The Story of Babur and Rattu & Poorie's Adventures in History: 1857. Her first biography, Jahangir: An Intimate Portrait of the Great Mughal (2018), was acclaimed as an "audacious, conversational history... [that] stands out", and for its "psychologically penetrating portrayal".
