Early India represents a complete rewriting by Romila Thapar of her classic work, A History of India, thirty-five years after it was first published. Thousands of years of history, tracing India's evolution before contact with modern Europe was established: its prehistoic beginnings; the great cities of Indus civilization, the emergence of mighty dynasties, the teachings of Buddha; the creation or heroic epics; and the creation of state and regional cultures. Red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. ISBN: 0520238990. Tiny nick to base of spine else a fine, clean copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is just lightly scuffed.
