Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition, First Impression. A new copy, sealed in the Folio Society's eco-wrapping as received directly from the publisher. Spanning 5,000 years from the Bronze Age to the present, 'India: A History' is John Keay's masterful story of the subcontinent; fully revised and updated for the Folio Society in this lavishly illustrated edition with a new preface by the author and a resplendent new binding. This is the most inclusive and comprehensive short history of India. While many books focus on the colonial era, John Keay devotes three quarters of 'India: A History' to events before the British landed in 1608. His narrative begins with the seldom-told story of the Bronze Age civilisations of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, passing through the age of Hindu mythology and the great Sanskrit epics, to the rise of Islam, the splendour of the Mughals and their long dynastic rule. The final quarter of the book provides an up-to-date and incisive account of modern India and its sister states, moving beyond the British Raj and the tragedy of Partition to technological riches and nuclear brinkmanship. Written with passion and drawing upon the latest scholarship, 'India' is a clear, detailed panorama of a uniquely complex nation and region. Published in two volumes, the book is sumptuously illustrated with 96 colour images. Keay has fully revised and updated his text for the Folio Society, adding a new preface. This is a fine edition of a book that will engage the general reader and seasoned Indophile alike. Beautifully bound in brightly coloured cloth, with striking motifs of Indian elephants designed by Florian Schommer, who also designed the printed endpapers and blocked slipcase.
