Item description from seller

English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket).; 20 x 26 cm.; 1.1 kg.; 240 pages with 238 illustrations, 123 in colour.; Used with minor signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows minor edge wear, scuffs and scratches. Interior with minor signs of wear.; In the West "Mogul" refers to a person of great influence and power. The word derives from the Persian Mughal or Mongol, the people who, initially under Genghis Khan, had an enormous impact on Asia as they set out to conquer the world. This book describes those rulers from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries who all shared the Muslim persianate high civilization that flourished from Iran and Central Asia through Afghanistan to India. Among them are Timur, or Tamerlane, who lived a life of remorseless conquest, Shah Abbas the Great, who brought the achievement of early modern Iran to its peak at Isfahan, Akbar the Great, who fostered an idea of inclusive government, and Shah Jahan, who gave India its finest monument, the Taj Mahal. In lively biographical portraits, illuminated by vivid descriptions from contemporary chroniclers, these great men come to life. We see them as administrators and military leaders, or engaged in bloody and fratricidal struggles for succession, as well as enlightened patrons of the arts and sciences. Women also played a prominent part in affairs, from court intrigues and artistic patronage to occasionally ruling themselves. With special features - from great cities such as Samarqand and Fatehpur Sikri, to astronomy, the Taj Mahal and Mughal painting-and illustrated with exquisite paintings and manuscripts, architecture and decoration, The Mughal Emperors explores the characters of the men who ruled over some of the finest expressions of Islamic civilization.
