Le Mahabarat et le Bhagavat du colonel de Polier
Au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, un jeune Suisse de Lausanne, descendant de huguenots, abandonne ses études et part pour Calcutta. Il prend du service dans l'armée de la Compagnie anglaise. Pendant plus de trente ans, il connaît beaucoup d'aventures. Sur la fin de son contrat, de la bouche d'un pandit fort instruit, il s'informe de la religion et des grandes épopées. Rentré en Europe, il s'enthousiasme pour la Révolution française et s'installe aux environs d'Avignon - où il sera assassiné lors des troubles du Directoire.

Music, Encounter, Togetherness
In today's technological and globalised world, music remains a basic dimension of society. Music, Encounter, Togetherness outlines a relational approach to music that creates space for both human agency and social relationship. Throughout the book, author Nicholas Cook puts Euro-American musical traditions into dialogue with other world music cultures, complementing theory-driven approaches with comprehensive case studies ranging from late eighteenth-century India to contemporary China, and from Debussy's encounter with Javanese music and dance to cross-cultural musicking in Australia and in cyberspace.

The Begum's Secret
'What do you suggest, then? How do we mitigate this tragedy? Three years of drought . . . three years of starvation!' She realized it was his way of getting back at her. 'There is an answer, Your Majesty. What if a large imambara were to be built, bigger and more magnificent than any constructed so far in Hindustan? Every Mussulman in Allah's creation will remember Asaf-ud-daula with reverence for all time to come.' 1784. Amid famine, poverty, a grand culture rises: Awadh. As Nawab Asaf-ud-daula tries to come to terms with new British masters, his awam seeks comfort in the vibrant poetry of Mir, the buzz of the Chowk, the thrill of the wrestling matches and the gossip of the zenankhana. In masterful prose, A.K. Srikumar tells the story of Asaf-ud-daula's court and his people, of the uncertain fortunes of Begum Shams-un-nisa, Prince Wazir Ali, Nazir-i-Mahal Nuruddin, of the schemes of Naib Haider Baig Khan and Resident John Bristow and pretender Saadat Ali Khan, of the Bada Imambara and a culinary tradition that was born amidst the brick and mortar-dum pukht.

Sanjay Subrahmanyam tracks these changing ideas over the entire early modern period.
