In this evocative study of the fall of Mughal Empire and the beginning of the Raj, award-winning historian William Dalrymple uses previously undiscovered sources to investigate a pivotal moment in history.

The last Mughal emperor, Zafar, came to the throne when the political power of the Mughals was already in steep decline. Nonetheless, Zafar—a mystic, poet, and calligrapher of great accomplishment—created a court of unparalleled brilliance, and gave rise to perhaps the greatest literary renaissance in modern Indian history. All the while, the British were progressively taking over the emperor's power. When, in May 1857, Zafar was declared the leader of an uprising against the British, he was powerless to resist though he strongly suspected that the action was doomed. Four months later, the British took Delhi, the capital, with catastrophic results. With an unsurpassed understanding of British and Indian history, Dalrymple crafts a provocative, revelatory account of one of the bloodiest upheavals in history.

读后感

读《末代莫卧儿》一书，觉得中印两国间，相似之处还是很多的。 Bahadur Shah在诗歌、玄学和绘画的造诣，有同后主转世（一旦归为臣虏，沉腰潘鬓消磨之句，可谓为两位量身定做）。其历史境遇则犹如周赧王（也都有着天下共主的虚位），包括债台高筑的典故。而在德里兵变中，上层...

历史脉络不清晰，大段大段使用史籍，语言干涩枯燥，章节内容重复，可读性远不如the city of djinns。虽然声称从莫卧儿和印度军角度叙述历史，其实还是从英军的角度描述事件。
