William Dalrymple is the author of five acclaimed works of history and travel, including City of Djinns, which won the Young British Writer of the Year Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award; the best-selling "From the Holy Mountain"; and White Mughals, which won Britain's most prestigious history prize, the Wolfson. He divides his time between New Delhi and London, and is a contributor to The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, and The Guardian.
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.

讀《末代莫臥兒》一書,覺得中印兩國間,相似之處還是很多的。 Bahadur Shah在詩歌、玄學和繪畫的造詣,有同後主轉世(一旦歸為臣虜,沉腰潘鬢消磨之句,可謂為兩位量身定做)。其曆史境遇則猶如周赧王(也都有著天下共主的虛位),包括債颱高築的典故。而在德裏兵變中,上層...

《最後的莫臥兒》譯到這一句:“except to inch forward from Delhi College and, on the morning of the 16th, to take the magazine immediately to its south”,等等,Delhi College不是在德裏城西南Ajmer Gate的棱堡裏麵嗎?怎麼跑到城東北軍火庫的北麵瞭?於是又花瞭半天時間查。。。
