Sultans of the South
Between the 14th and the 17th century, the Deccan plateau of south-central India was home to a series of important and highly cultured Muslim courts. Subtly blending elements from Iran, West Asia, southern India, and northern India, the arts produced under these sultanates are markedly different from those of the rest of India and especially from those produced under Mughal patronage. This publication, a result of a 2008 symposium held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, investigates the arts of Deccan and the unique output in the fields of painting, literature, architecture, arms, textiles, and carpet.
Vision of the Return
Poetry. Northwest Africa Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the French by Dawn Michelle Baude. "VISION OF THE RETURN is an ambitious work that wants to reinvent a space of writing (& breathing). Weary of earlier generations' lyrical excesses, Khan thrives on the quasi-laconic statement ('for him who travels / there is no sadness // there are blades in the heart / and traces in the sky / that are birds') & proposes a language conscious of, & carefully focused on, its own movements." Pierre Joris"

The History of Afghanistan (6 Vol. Set)
The Sir?j al-taw?r?kh is the most important history of Afghanistan ever written. This pinnacle of the rich Afghan historiographic tradition is available in English translation, annotated, fully indexed, including an introduction, eight appendices, Persian-English and English-Persian glossaries, and bibliography.
History of civilizations of Central Asia
The period treated in this volume is highlighted by the slow retreat of nomadism and the progressive increase of sedentary polities owing to a fundamental change in military technology: Furthermore, this period certainly saw a growing contrast in the pace of economic and cultural progress between Central Asia and Europe. The internal growth of the European economies and the influx of silver from the New World gave Atlantic Europe an increasingly important position in world trade and caused a major shift in inland Asian trade. Thus, 1850 marks the end of the total sway of pre-modern culture as the extension of colonial dominance was accompanied by the influx of modern ideas.
