About This Item
Littlehampton Book Services Ltd, 1973. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. This first edition is in very good condition with a very good unclipped dust jacket. Foxing present to the top edge of the text block only. No inscriptions, markings or otherwise signs of wear. A very good clean copy. Epics of history are rare and The Peacock Throne is one of them. No royal lineage offers such a spectacle of high drama as the fabulous Mogul Dynasty of India, which created the world's most famous monument, the Taj Mahal. Not since Greek tragedy has there been such a stark revelation of the excesses of human behavior: incest, fratricide, sons revolting continuously against fathers, and the madness of uncontrolled aggression.
