Synopsis

The Edinburgh Festival of those days was a much more accessible village... The ground rules were well enough understood. Everything about it was containable. The Fringe was the seed bed for talent and ran happily in step with its established elders and betters. They both knew their place.
But then something equally remarkable was about to take place in the New Town of the city I knew and loved...
The same year, Roddy Martine is born. In 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he interviewed Sir Yehudi Menuhin and David Frost for an Edinburgh Festival magazine he edited and the following year, met Marlene Dietrich.
Both Richard and Roddy have unique perspectives on the most remarkable international festival of the arts the world has ever known. They have witnessed its evolution over the years and are passionate believers in the power of creativity within everyone.
In this fascinating book, Richard – the 2013 UK recipient of the Citizen of Europe medal – explores the original world vision of Sir John Falconer and Rudolph Bing and, with Roddy, recalls the highs and lows of The Edinburgh International Festival, The Fringe, Art, Book, Jazz and Television Festivals, and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Now in its eighth decade, can the Edinburgh Festival survive? Where do we go from here?

    The history of early Indian empires is a fascinating story of conquest, governance, and cultural transformation. Over centuries, three powerful dynasties—the Maurya, Satavahana, and Gupta Empires—laid the foundations of Indian civilization, shaping its political, economic, and social structures.  
    The Maurya Empire, established by Chandragupta Maurya, was the first large-scale empire to unify much of the Indian subcontinent, creating a highly organized administrative system.  
    Under Ashoka, the empire saw a shift from military expansion to the promotion of Buddhism and moral governance. Following the Mauryas, the Satavahana Empire emerged as a vital force in the Deccan, maintaining stability through a blend of military strength and trade dominance. They controlled key routes linking northern and southern India, facilitating cultural and commercial exchanges.  
    Later, the Gupta Empire brought about a golden age of Indian history, marked by advancements in science, mathematics, literature, and the arts. Their reign saw the revival of Hindu traditions alongside continued Buddhist and Jain influences. Together, these three empires set the stage for India’s rich historical and cultural legacy, influencing the region for centuries to come.
