Paperback. Condition: New. Language: ENGLISH. About the book:-Shah-Jahan-'King of the World'-ruled the Mughal Empire from 1628 to 1658, a period of multiculturalism, poetry, fine art and stupendous architecture. His legacy in stone embraces not only the Taj Mahal-the tomb of his beloved second wife, Arjuman Mumtaz-Mahal-but fortresses, mosques, gardens, caravanserais and schools. He was also a ruthless political operator who achieved power by ordering the murder of two brothers and at least six other relatives, an enlightened despot, a king who dispensed largesse to favoured courtiers but ignored plague in the countryside. The author has reconstructed this intriguing tale from contemporary biographies, edicts and correspondence, putting together an original portrait that challenges many established legends to bring the man and the emperor to life. The book is immensely good and useful in the context of the Indian history. Students, teachers can use it for their research work.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. â??The Library and the Communityâ?? by L. Stanley Jast. Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1939. Hardback, 204 pp. Some text underlined in pencil, or marked with marginal vertical lines, also in pencil. Bookplate bearing the thoroughly apposite (if somewhat sardonic) screed â??Nullus multos libros faciendi finis et in legendo nimis corpus fessum estâ?: â??Thereâ??s no end to the making of books; and reading too many of them tires you outâ?. Some black and white photographic illustrations.Condition: FairCommunity: remember that? Libraries: remember them? Books . . . well, of course you remember books, since only a reader would be accessing this description in the first place, though God knows there are fewer and fewer of us left these days. People prefer to read their smartphones or computer screens. This charming little book (highly collectible) states that itâ??s intended for a now almost legendary entity, the â??general readerâ??. Thereâ??s a poignant series of black and white photos of brand-new modern libraries in places like Liverpool and Hendon and Tottenham and Dagenham. These images exude hope for a fairer and more literate future. (Fat chance in 2025, mate, though the 1950s and 1960s came close to realizing that ideal.)For anyone who still cares about the whole concept of a public library.
