Produktbeschreibung
Long viewed as an exotic wonderland of unimaginable treasures, the Mughal Empire (1526-1857) was, in reality, the mightiest Islamic empire in the history of India. In "The Empire of the Great Mughals," historian Annemarie Schimmel describes the political, military, and economic rise of the Mughals, the incredible unfolding of the empire's power and splendor, and the empire's gradual collapse at the hands of the British. Beginning with a concise historical overview, Schimmel paints a detailed picture of daily life in the empire: the role of rank in this strictly hierarchical society, the life of women, and the various religions, languages, and styles of literature of the era. She pays particular attention to the remarkable accomplishments and techniques of artists at the Mughal court--including the Taj Mahal, the most impressive demonstration of the Mughal rulers' refined sense of beauty. The capstone to the career of Annemarie Schimmel, whom the "New York Times" called "one of the 20th century's most influential scholars of Islam," "The Empire of the Great Mughals" is a fascinating portrait of an exquisitely rich and refined civilization.
The Mughal empire (1526 1857) has long been viewed as a wonderland of unimaginable treasure; it was in fact the mightiest Islamic empire in the history of India. This book describes the political, military and economic rise of the Mughals, their system of rule, and their gradual collapse, finally supplanted by the British colonial empire in 1857.
