وصف الكتابAt its peak in 250 BCE the Maurya Empire was the wealthiest and largest empire in the world, extending across much of modern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In this book Colleen Taylor Sen explores the life, achievements and legacy of the Maurya emperor Ashoka, one of the greatest leaders in Indian history. The book relates how, after a bloody war in 261 bce, Ashoka renounced violence and spent the rest of his life promoting religious tolerance, animal rights, environmental protection, peace and multiculturalism – a policy he called Dhamma. This well-illustrated book explores the legacy and influence of the Mauryas in politics throughout Southeast Asia, China and India, as well as in contemporary popular culture.
عن المؤلفColleen Taylor Sen lives in Chicago, and her books include Curry: A Global History (Reaktion, 2009) and Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India (Reaktion, 2014), named one of the best food books of the year by Vogue and The Smithsonian Magazine.
