Aurangzib

Cosmo Publications is pleased to announce the publication of the second part of this Classic Series on Indian history. These books are authentic documents from the past that are as valid and as useful today as when they were written, or even more so. These are books that have come to acquire a stature which was not apparent when they were published. Edited by the leading Indologist of his time – W. W. Hunter – the titles in this series reflect some of the best biographies ever attempted on the men who ruled India. Mr. Hunter indeed made sure that the task of writing the individual title was entrusted to the most suitable person as is amply reflected by the choice of the authors for the purpose. That the titles are indeed classics is clearly demonstrated by some of the press reviews included here.
A total of twenty-four volumes are now available.

Reviews:

‘We hope that the volumes on the “Rulers of India” series … are carefully read by a large section of the public… We strongly recommend the book to all…’ – New York Herald

There is no period in Eastern history so full of sensation as the reign of Aurangzíb… Mr. Lane-Poole tells this story admirably; indeed, it were difficult to imagine it better told.’ – National Observer.

‘Mr. Lane-Poole writes learnedly, lucidly, and vigorously… He draws an extremely vivid picture of Aurangzíb, his strange character, his intrepid courage, his remorseless overthrow of his kinsmen, his brilliant court, and his disastrous policy; and he describes the gradual decline of the Mogul power from Akbar to Aurangzíb with genuine historical insight.’ – Times.
