Synopsis
Yet, a few mysterious stone monuments and inscriptions miraculously survived the purge. In Ashoka: The Search for India's Lost Emperor, historian Charles Allen tells the incredible story of how a few enterprising archaeologists deciphered the mysterious lettering on keystones and recovered India's ancient past. Drawing from rich sources, Allen crafts a clearer picture of this enigmatic figure than ever before., Ashoka Maurya--or Ashoka the Great as he was later known--holds a special place in the history of India., Through his third century BCE quest to govern the Indian subcontinent by moral force alone, Ashoka transformed Buddhism from a minor sect into a major world religion. His bold experiment ended in tragedy, and in the tumult that followed the historical record was cleansed so effectively that his name was largely forgotten for almost two thousand years. Yet, a few mysterious stone monuments and inscriptions miraculously survived the purge. In Ashoka: The Search for India's Lost Emperor, historian Charles Allen tells the incredible story of how a few enterprising archaeologists deciphered the mysterious lettering on keystones and recovered India's ancient past. Drawing from rich sources, Allen crafts a clearer picture of this enigmatic figure than ever before.

- a***4 (82)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe book arrived very well packaged, the book had a plastic tight cover and it arrived in a tight craboard book which prevented the book from moving inside. The shipping was quite fast, it didnt gave me much updates but that didnt prevent the book from transit. The price for a new book was very reasonable and also the seller provided free shipping. Perfect condition and perfect experince. 1000/10!!! Would purchase from this seller again.Butter: The Cult new Japanese Bestselling Novel by Asako Yuzuki NEW Paperback (#235526561392)

(The USPS was slow in delivery). They never gave up and eventually, sent me a complimentary copy of the book. I was really impressed with vendors communication with me and their desire to make me happy.
