| Details: |
Dani?lou's powerful rebuttal to the conventional view of India's history, which calls for a massive reevaluation of the history of humanity. <BR>--Explores historical occurrences from each major time period starting with the first appearance of man 30,000 years ago. <BR>---Couples the clarity and perspective of an outsider with the unique and specific knowledge of an insider. <BR>---By the internationally recognized Hindu scholar and translator of The Complete Kama Sutra (200,000 copies sold). <BR>Alain Dani?lou approaches the history of India from a new perspective--as a sympathetic outsider, yet one who understands the deepest workings of the culture. Because the history of India covers such a long span of time, rather than try to create an exhaustive chronology of dates and events, Dani?lou instead focuses on enduring institutions that remain constant despite the ephemeral historical events that occur. His selections, synthesis, and narration create a thoroughly engaging and readable journey through time |
