- Summary:
- The Mughal Empire (15261857) has long been viewed as a wonderland of unimaginable treasure. Annemarie Schimmel describes its rise to political, military, and economic ascendancy, the development of its power and splendor, and finally its gradual disintegration. This is a fascinating portrait of an advanced oriental culture, whose historical and cultural legacy -- such as Mughal paintings and the marble-clad Taj Mahal in Agra -- still inspires universal admiration today.
