A propos de cet article

London. Viking/Penguin. 2012. Hard Cover. First Edition/First Printing (full number line including the number 1 on the copyright page). Hard Cover. Demy 8to (8¾" by 5⅝") (221 mm x 142 mm) approx. 305 pp. Red boards with gilt titles to the spine. Cover artwork by Joy Gosney. Wraparound design. Inscribed by the author to the half title and dated 2013. Maps in the text and to the rear matter. The book uncovers thousands of years of history and also manages to link it to the dramatic and quite sudden changes taking place in the country. He speaks of the architectural design of the country and how with the many rulers, the landscape changed and with some of that, our culture and history as well. I love the parts when Sanyal tries to uncover questions we may not even think of, for instance, why is India named Bharat? What happened to the Saraswati River? He speaks of the Great Flood and ties it back in with the structure of the country. What I liked is that he doesn’t trace kingdoms, instead he traces civilization during those kingdoms – he speaks of lives and then connects it all to the geographical nature of the country. My favourite parts in the book have to be how he explains the archaeological sites and how they came to be. The maps only add to the beauty of language and wit as displayed and they are needed to guide the reader at every turn of the page. The dust jacket will be protected with an inert acetate protective sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.
