{"product_id":"9780674244160","title":"The History of Akbar : Volume 7 by Wheeler M. Thackston","description":"The exemplar of Indo-Persian history, at once a biography of Emperor Akbar and a chronicle of sixteenth-century Mughal India.   Akbarnama, or The History of Akbar, by Abu'l-Fazl (d. 1602), is one of the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry. Marking a high point in a long, rich tradition of Persian historical writing, it served as a model for historians across the Persianate world. The work is at once a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605) that includes descriptions of political and martial feats and cultural achievements, and a chronicle of sixteenth-century India.   The seventh volume details the twenty-ninth to thirty-eighth years of Akbar's reign, including accounts of the marriage of his son and heir Salim (Jahangir); conquests of Swat, Orissa, Kashmir, Sind, and the Saurashtra Peninsula; the pacification of Bengal; and the emperor's visits to Kashmir, the Punjab, and Kabul.   The Persian text, presented in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56292880089461,"sku":"9780674244160","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674244160.jpg?v=1762752804","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674244160","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
