Download or read book Ashoka written by Patrick Olivelle and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating biography reconstructing the life and legacy of a unique king in world history and the most famous emperor in South Asian history There are few historical figures more integral to South Asian history than Emperor Ashoka, a third-century BCE king who ruled over a larger area of the Indian subcontinent than anyone else before British colonial rule. Ashoka sought not only to rule his territory but also to give it a unity of purpose and aspiration, to unify the people of his vastly heterogeneous empire not by a cult of personality but by the cult of an idea--"dharma"--which served as the linchpin of a new moral order. He aspired to forge a new moral philosophy that would be internalized not only by the people of his empire but also by rulers and subjects of other countries, and would form the foundation for his theory of international relations, in which practicing dharma would bring international conflicts to an end. His fame spread far and wide both in India and in other parts of Asia, and it prompted diverse reimaginations of the king and his significance. In this deeply researched book, Patrick Olivelle draws on Ashoka's inscriptions and on the art and architecture he pioneered to craft a detailed picture of Ashoka as a ruler, a Buddhist, a moral philosopher, and an ecumenist who governed a vast multiethnic, multilinguistic, and multireligious empire.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater by : Wenying Xu
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater written by Wenying Xu and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American literature is one of the most recent forms of ethnic literature and is already becoming one of the most prominent, given the large number of writers, the growing ethnic population from the region, the general receptivity of this body of work, and the quality of the authors. In recent decades, there has been an exponential growth in their output and much Asian American literature has now achieved new levels of popular success and critical acclaim. Nurtured by rich and long literary traditions from the vast continent of Asia, this literature is poised between the ancient and the modern, between the East and West, and between the oral and the written. The Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater covers the activities in this burgeoning field. First, its history is traced year by year from 1887 to the present, in a chronology, and the introduction provides a good overview. The most important section is the dictionary, with over 600 substantial and cross-referenced entries on authors, books, and genres as well as more general ones describing the historical background, cultural features, techniques and major theatres and clubs. More reading can be found through an extensive bibliography with general works and those on specific authors. The book is thus a good place to get started, or to expanded one’s horizons, about a branch of American literature that can only grow in importance.

So, there is a question bank, which is handy for vast exercises in the process of application of knowledge acquired through study.

Peter’s ‘Question Bank of English Grammar & Composition’ includes question sets from Parts of Speech to Analysis, Subject-Verb agreement, Moods, Voice & Narration Change, Tenses, Split-up and Joining. The book also contains question sets relating Phrasal Verbs (replacing words), Idioms (to find out their meanings), Identifying Clause, Phrase, Sentences (their types or class), Articles & Prepositions as well. The book is designed as much topics of English Grammar (which was possible) to be included in, so that students from Grade V to XII, can take its help. All the questions relating grammar & composition (grammatical) are divided in 54 major sections or chapters in the attempt to cover as much questions to input what was possible for Mr. Peter. The questions are set along with some explanations too (including answers in tough fields) after or before each chapter begins; so that a learner (from V to XII) can grasp it (the English Grammar) without any difficulties and (s)he can write the answers of the questions which are set in, properly. With this, Mr. Peter feels gratitude for all those who are thinking to buy the book or have already bought. Thanking Mr. Peter

Download or read book Ashoka written by Charles L. Allen and published by Harry N. Abrams. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
