About This Item
I. B. Tauris & Company, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good+. 12x0x14. Jaipur: The Last Destination brings alive nine centuries, pulling history out of the realm of text books and making it a wondrous narrative of war and bravery; migration and settlement; loyalty, deceit and murder; of medieval connoisseurship of the architecture and the arts; of splendor, opulence and extravagance. In this visual survey of the city of Jaipur, Aman Nath traces the origins of the city and its development under the Rajputs of Rajasthan. He describes its rulers' skillful handling of relations with the Sultans of Delhi (both Turk and Afghan) and subsequently with the Mughals and the British. It details the extraordinary flowering of the arts under a succession of rulers, and using original photographs from the maharajahs' private collections he reveals the fantastic opulence of life at court. This book describes the wealth of a living culture that awaits modern visitors: the crafts of the gem cutters, goldsmiths, potters, painters and embroiderers whose work can be found in the back lanes and bazaars, as well as the citadels and palaces, temples and mosques redolent of nine centuries of turbulent history.
