‘Pithy, admirable ... a most refreshing resumé’ The Times Literary Supplement India has had many histories. To pilgrims from ancient China, India was the birthplace of the Buddha; to Alexander the Great it was a land of clever naked philosophers and indomitable, elephantine armies.At the height of the Mughal empire, India boasted nearly a quarter of the world economy, and even under colonial rule it was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Today it is the resurgent home to one sixth of the global population. Andrew Robinson incisively distils India’s many incarnations, from the remarkably advanced cities of the early Indus Valley to the world’s largest democracy.Anyone curious about its past, present or future will find this a fascinating introduction.

Undeciphered scripts have long tantalized the public, whether itÂ’s the possibility of hearing the voices of ancient peoples or the puzzle solverÂ’s taste for the challenges posed by breaking codes. Here, Andrew Robinson investigates the most famous examples, beginning with the stories of three great decipherments: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Maya glyphs, and the Minoan Linear B clay tablets. He then covers the important scripts that have yet to be cracked, such as the Etruscan alphabet and Rongorongo from Easter Island.

An exquisite collection of artefacts, sculptures, and historically significant treasures from across India. If the captivating bronze dancing girl of Harappa denoted sophisticated early civilisation, the stunning Sanchi Stupa symbolized the peak of Buddhist religion in India. If the world-renowned Taj Mahal was a testament to the wealth of the Mughal empire, Tipu s Tiger, an intricate, almost life-sized mechanical toy, represented the king of Mysore s resistance against the East India Company. Whether it is the striking sculptures of the famed city of Hampi, the beautiful folios from religious texts, the breathtaking Konark wheel, the famous Koh-i-Noor, or the elegant paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, these artefacts, monuments and artworks are intimately woven into the history and culture of India and revered for their beauty and artistry. Dive deep into the culturally rich history of India to explore:- A curated showcase of more than 100 of India s treasures, from the very popular ones that are housed in museums across the world to those hidden away in different corners of India.- Timelines take the reader through the various eras and dynasties.- Something new on every page and features a wide range of artefacts, from paintings and sculptures, to jewellery and sacred objects.- Key events, people, and dynasties from the ancient and medieval age to the colonial period and independent, contemporary India.- Themed double page features to give the reader a broader context of the object and its place in Indian history.- A selection of gallery pages to give readers an idea of the treasure troves that exist in India.Ranging from the extraordinary to the ordinary, from the remarkable to the traditional, these objects capture moments, reflect changes, and remain grounded in the many lived realities of India. The richly illustrated Treasures of India navigates the history of India, through the early civilisations, formation of kingdoms, religious movements, the establishment of empires, the struggle for Independence, and the emergence of a democracy and republic through more than 100 objects and monuments, exploring the fascinating and unique stories behind each of them.

Their understanding of South Asian trade and India was sketchy at best, and, to the Mughals, they were minor players on a very large stage. Roe was representing a kingdom that was beset by financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as a unified â ˜Great Britainâ ™ under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile, the court he entered in India was wealthy and cultured, its dominion widely considered to be one of the greatest and richest empires of the world.In Nandini Das s fascinating history of Roe s four years in India, she offers an insider s view of a Britain in the making, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It is a story of palace intrigue and scandal, lotteries and wagers that unfolds as global trade begins to stretch from Russia to Virginia, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of Indonesia.A major debut that explores the art, literature, sights and sounds of Jacobean London and Imperial India, Courting India reveals Thomas Roe s time in the Mughal Empire to be a turning point in history â “ and offers a rich and radical challenge to our understanding of Britain and its early empire.

Magisterial - The Financial TimesAn updated edition of Ramachandra Guha s India After Gandhi with new material that explains the major events, policy shifts and controversies of the past decade, placing them in their proper sociological and historical context and setting out the author s justifiable concerns for the decline of democracy in India.Born against a background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged, somehow, as a united and democratic country. Ramachandra Guhaâ ™s hugely acclaimed book tells the full story â “ the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories â “ of the worldâ ™s largest and least likely democracy.While India is sometimes the most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most interesting. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free India. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Guha gives fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though not necessarily less important) Indians â “ peasants, tribals, women, workers and musicians.Massively researched and elegantly written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of Indiaâ ™s rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of single-volume history. This third edition brings the story fully up to date.

The extraordinary multiplicity of religions and religious cultures in India, chronicled over two thousand yearsFrom its earliest recorded history, India was a place of remarkable and varied religious activity, ranging from elaborate sacrificial rituals and rigorous regimes of personal austerity to psycho-spiritual experimentation and utopian visions. In this ambitious and wide-ranging chronicle, Richard Davis offers a history of India⠙s myriad religious cultures that spans two thousand years, from 1300 BCE to 700 CE. India, Davis writes, was not only the birthplace of the religions we now know as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It was also the home of other, often unnamed religions that can be classified as ⠜folk⠝ or ⠜popular⠝ religions. Tracing these intertwined practices, Davis shows that the ardent and heterogeneous religious cultures of early India came to define and redefine themselves in relation to one another. Davis recounts this history through voices⠔voices recorded in hymns, poems, songs, didactic stories, epic narratives, scientific treatises, and theological discourses, as well as voices that speak through material remains, whether monumental sculptures or tiny terracotta figurines of nameless goddesses. He focuses on the long millennium often designated as ⠜classical India,⠝ which stretches from the time of the founding figures of Buddhism and Jainism during the sixth century BCE through the seventh-century-CE dynasties of the Chalukyas and the Pallavas in southern India. Throughout, he emphasizes encounter, interaction, debate, critique, and borrowing among religious communities within a shared, changing social and political reality. The voices and visions of early India⠙s religions, Davis shows us, are fascinating in their multiplicity.

The New India is the unforgettable account of the struggle between modern forces and ancient ideas to shape the young country s destiny. It reveals a picture of a nation on the precipice of dramatic change. Remarkable... fascinating... brilliant GuardianBased on six years of detailed research and on-the-ground reporting, the book builds - authoritatively, vividly, indelibly - to become the story of post-colonial India. Using hundreds of interviews, and letters, diary entries, Partition-era police reports, and an astonishing range of sources, Bhatia shows how history plays a recurring role in the present: in politics, in the minds of citizens, in notions of justice and corruption.Bhatia examines the connections between the Delhi riots of 2020 and the emergence of nineteenth-century revolutionary secret societies, the rise of Hindu nationalism, whose early advocates drew lessons from Hitler and Mussolini, the political use of misinformation and religious targeting, and the Hindu fundamentalist ideology that sparked the creation of the world s largest biometric project. As Bhatia shows, the evolution of this citizen database, in the hands of the BJP, now threatens to deny vast numbers of India s 200 million Muslims their Indian citizenship. Electorates in democracies used to choose their government. Now, in India, the government is choosing its electorate.India has rarely been seen as in The New India, a monumental work of narrative reportage that illuminates the ways in which a supremacist ideology remade the country over decades, resulting in the prodigious rise of Narendra Modi, and forcing many to ask what they truly understood about their neighbours and themselves.

Audiokniha: Zdaleka nejúspěšnějším dílem Daniela Defoe je Robinson Crusoe, vydaný poprvé v roce 1719 pod titulem Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Předpokládá se, že předobrazem Robinsona byl skotský námořník Alexandr Selkirk, který skutečně strávil více než čtyři roky jako trosečník na ostrově vzdáleném necelých 700 km od chilského pobřeží (dnes se jmenuje Ostrov Robinsona Crusoea) a když se v roce 1711 vrátil do Británie, stal se tehdejší celebritou a jeho příběh byl vícekrát literárně zpracován. Česky vyšel román Robinson Crusoe poprvé v roce 1797, od té doby více než stokrát. Nejúspěšnější bylo a dosud je převyprávění pro děti z pera Josefa Věromíra Plevy (poprvé bylo vydáno v roce 1956). Z této verze vyšla také rozhlasová úprava z roku 2009, do které se nyní můžete zaposlouchat.

A raging wave, mountain-like, came rowling a-stern of us...we were all swallowed up in a moment.The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of natural man or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe s transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe s life and times, explanatory notes, glossary and a critical introduction discussing Robinson Crusoe as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism.

Faced with the end of his business, his team and everything he had worked so hard to build, he was forced to question what mattered most.Blending memoir and nature writing at its finest, Ingrained is an uplifting meditation on the joys and challenges of working with your hands in our modern age, on inheritance, community, and the beauty of the natural world.

If our relationship had not begun with this one tiny untruth.Time has flattened for Esther.Her storybook marriage begins, and ends, in the shadow of Notre Dame cathedral. Sifting through the ashes of their years together, a time now collapsed by grief, she finds a mismatched litany: mountain lions, a Paris bookshop, bad dancing, bad faith, marshland, prairieland, miscarriage, motherhood, bagels, Eve.In order to understand this new story, Esther seeks help - from generations of women, from a book about evolution, from a friendly philosopher/scientist with a solid grasp of the space-time continuum.Mostly, though, she writes - fragments, notes, letters - tracing a fine line between a story that soothes and one that suffocates; confronting the impossibility of communicating anything in the right way, at the right moment, to her daughter. Esther writes, and rewrites, until time slowly takes shape again. This extraordinary debut is an excavation of betrayal, of motherhood, of time and timelessness, of guilt and consequence, of love coming to an end. Told with dry wit and a startling ferocity, And Notre Dame is Burning heralds an urgent new voice in literary fiction.

Audiokniha MP3 Daniel Defoe, Josef Věromír Pleva, čte Miloslav Mejzlík Zdaleka nejúspěšnějším dílem Daniela Defoe je Robinson Crusoe, vydaný poprvé v roce 1719 pod titulem Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Předpokládá se, že předobrazem Robinsona byl skotský námořník Alexandr Selkirk, který skutečně strávil více než čtyři roky jako trosečník na ostrově vzdáleném necelých 700 km od chilského pobřeží (dnes se jmenuje Ostrov Robinsona Crusoea) a když se v roce 1711 vrátil do Británie, stal se tehdejší celebritou a jeho příběh byl vícekrát literárně zpracován.Česky vyšel román Robinson Crusoe poprvé v roce 1797, od té doby více než stokrát. Nejúspěšnější bylo a dosud je převyprávění pro děti z pera Josefa Věromíra Plevy (poprvé bylo vydáno v roce 1956). Z této verze vyšla také rozhlasová úprava z roku 2009, do které se nyní můžete zaposlouchat.

Scott Schuman, a.k.a. The Sartorialist, has been traveling to India for over a decade to capture its wildly original beauty in markets, music festivals, city streets, and cricket fields, and across cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Chennai, and Mumbai. The result gathers all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye, a humanist´s empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. An intoxicating mix of color, pattern, and texture, The Sartorialist: India is a photographic tribute to the country´s diversity and splendor. Famed American photographer and blogger Scott Schuman journeyed to India many times to capture its wildly idiosyncratic styles, whether on the streets, in markets, on the cricket fields, or at residences in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Pushkar, and Mumbai. Schuman´s affinity for his subjects is evident, and he celebrates people of all ages and from all walks of life, from ravers, transgender subjects, wrestlers, surfers, grandfathers, and fashionistas to children and laborers. He also shines a light on the new India as much as on the time-honored. The casually chic layering of textiles, the enduring prevalence of traditional attire, and India´s pure physical beauty all add up to a richly satisfying visual and cultural experience. The images are also illuminated by an introduction by the acclaimed fashion writer Bandana Tewari. This vibrant monograph is Schuman´s first for TASCHEN, and it showcases all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist´s eye for a decisive moment, a humanist´s sense of empathy, and a fashion aficionado´s appreciation for design. The photographer Based in New York City, Scott Schuman had worked in fashion marketing and branding when, in the early 2000s, he began casually photographing stylish people he encountered on the street and posting the images to a blog he called The Sartorialist. Schuman quickly garnered an avid following, and went on to shoot campaigns for Gap, Verizon, Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Absolut, and Burberry. His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

Another India tells the story of the world s biggest religious minority. Weaving together vivid biographical portraits of a wide range of Indian Muslims--elite and subaltern, secular and clerical, activist and apolitical--it brings the experience of the country s Muslims under a single focus; and, by throwing light on the Indian Muslim condition during the first thirty years of independence, reflects on the true character of democratic India. What we have here is a rather different picture from received accounts of the world s largest democracy . Challenging traditional histories of Nehru s India, Pratinav Anil shows that minority rights were neglected right from independence. Despite its best intentions, the Congress regime that ruled for three decades was often illiberal, intolerant and undemocratic. Muslims had to contend with discrimination, disadvantage, deindustrialisation, dispossession and disenfranchisement, as well as an unresponsive leadership. Anil demonstrates how the Muslim elite encouraged depoliticisation, taking up seemingly noble but largely inconsequential causes with little bearing on the lives of ordinary members of the community. There was no room for mass protests or collective solidarity in this version of Muslim politics. Another India explores this elite betrayal, whose consequences are still felt by India s 200 million Muslims today.

Krishna Kumari: The Tragedy of India introduces readers to the first English language play in modern India.Written in 1826 by English Subba Rao, one of the first Indians to be schooled in English, Krishna Kumari depicts the true story of a princess of Udaipur who is forced to commit suicide in order to end a war started by her suitors, the rulers of the neighboring kingdoms of Jaipur and Jodhpur. Tragically, her death proves to be in vain because the mercenaries recruited by the contending rulers nevertheless proceed to plunder the region. All three kingdoms are then compelled to seek the protection of the East India Company, bringing their independence to an end.Sharp and witty, Krishna Kumari was intended to warn Indian principalities against the follies that led to the downfall of the Rajputs. Unfortunately, the play scarcely saw the light of day. Angered by Subba Rao s opposition to their power, the British forced him to withdraw from public life. This is why audiences have never heard of Krishna Kumari-until now. Building on extensive archival research, this volume brings Subba Rao s pioneering drama back to life. The introductory essay by Rahul Sagar, a leading scholar of nineteenth century India, familiarizes readers with the remarkable characters in the play and the violent era in which they lived. By shedding light on Subba Rao s extraordinary life and career, it also reveals how important principalities like Tanjore and Travancore were in battling colonialism and shaping modern India.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE Remarkable ... this brilliant book stands as an important monument to an almost forgotten world William Dalrymple, Spectator A sweeping, magisterial new history of India from the middle ages to the arrival of the BritishThe Indian subcontinent might seem a self-contained world. Protected by vast mountains and seas, it has created its own religions, philosophies and social systems. And yet this ancient land experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and, especially, Central Asia and the Iranian plateau between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries. Richard M. Eaton s wonderful new book tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality. His major theme is the rise of Persianate culture - a many-faceted transregional world informed by a canon of texts that circulated through ever-widening networks across much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become thoroughly indigenized by the time of the great Mughals in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. This long-term process of cultural interaction and assimilation is reflected in India s language, literature, cuisine, attire, religion, styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, architecture, and more. The book brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India s Sanskrit culture - which continued to flourish and grow throughout this period - and Persian culture, which helped shape the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire and a host of regional states, and made India what it is today.

Audiokniha: Když v podhůří Appalačských hor zmizí za záhadných okolností církevní sbor, dávají bizarní stopy krveprolití tušit, že tuto tragédii má na svědomí snad sám ďábel. FBI má ovšem eso v rukávu – agentku Jessicu Blackwoodovou, bývalou nadanou kouzelnici z proslulé dynastie iluzionistů, která přednedávnem vyřešila případ tajemného Čaroděje a která díky svému nadání i zkušenostem dokáže rozpoznat, když věci nejsou takové, jaké se zdají být. Jessica je přesvědčená, že klíčem k záhadě je stará magnetofonová kazeta, a rozplétáním událostí, jež jsou na nahrávce zachycené, odhalí něco hodně znepokojivého – čin s dalekosáhlými důsledky.
