Summary

"Taj Mahal" explores the iconic monument beyond a symbol of love, examining its historical, architectural, and cultural significance within the Mughal Empire. Delving into 17th-century India under Shah Jahan, the book reveals how the Taj Mahal served as an assertion of imperial power and religious devotion, reflecting the zenith of Mughal artistic and administrative capabilities. The book highlights the intricate blend of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles, illustrating the monument's complex construction. The book offers a comprehensive perspective by integrating historical context with detailed architectural analysis and cultural interpretations. 

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the Mughal Empire, then dissects the Taj Mahal's architecture, and finally analyzes the monument's symbolic meaning and place in India's national identity. This approach provides readers with a holistic understanding of the landmark's enduring legacy.

    This collection examines the intense conflict between the Jacobins and the Girondins, two factions with differing views on the direction of the revolution. While the Jacobins, led by figures like Robespierre, advocated for radical change and direct action, the Girondins sought a more moderate approach, leading to intense political battles that shaped the course of the revolution. 
    The book also explores the Reign of Terror, one of the darkest periods in revolutionary France, when the Jacobins seized power and executed thousands of perceived enemies of the revolution, including former allies. This campaign of political repression became infamous for its brutality and the paranoia it instilled across the country. Finally, the Thermidorian Reaction marks a critical turning point, as revolutionary fervor gave way to reactionary forces, leading to the fall of Robespierre and the decline of radicalism. 
    Together, these events showcase the volatile nature of the French Revolution, highlighting the dangers of factionalism and the consequences of unchecked power. Factional Conflicts reveals how divisions within the revolution itself contributed to its eventual unraveling and the establishment of a new order in France.

    An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
     
     
     
    In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
     
     
     
    Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
     
     
     
    Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.
