Early Indiaepub,mobi,azw3格式电子书下载，作者：Romila Thapar-读书派

Early India represents a complete rewriting by Romila Thapar of her classic work, A History of India (the first volume in the Penguin History of India series), thirty-five years after it was first published. Thapar has incorporated the vast changes in scholarly understanding and interpretation of Indian history that have occurred during her lifetime to revise the book for a new generation of readers. This new work brings to life thousands of years of history, tracing India's evolution before contact with modern Europe was established: its prehistoric beginnings; the great cities of the Indus civilization; the emergence of mighty dynasties such as the Mauryas, Guptas, and Cholas; the teachings of the Buddha; the creation of heroic epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana; and the creation of regional cultures. Thapar introduces figures from the remarkable visionary ruler Ashoka to other less exemplary figures. In exploring subjects as diverse as marriage, class, art, erotica, and astronomy, Thapar provides an incomparably vivid and nuanced picture of India. Above all, she shows the rich mosaic of diverse kingdoms, landscapes, languages, and beliefs.

印度古代史入门经典，距离第一版已经数十年，但在史料、理论和问题意识上能看出作者与时俱进的努力。印度大陆与东亚、东南亚、中亚息息相关，无论是佛教传播、古代地缘政治，还是海陆贸易、物质文化传播，但不如丝路上的其他国家那样受重视，连二手文献都不多见。古代印度的社会结构、宗教信仰、政治体制，对于东亚、西方来说都是异质的，因而某种程度上能打破或刺激固有的理论体系。但古代印度的研究也并非易事，需要综合多种语言文字的史料，由于没有史学传统，还得从复杂迷离的宗教、民间文献，碑铭甚至钱币中剔除杂质、理清脉络。

可乐使我快乐

基于作者多年前的著作修订而来，结合对铭文、往世书等史料的挖掘已经基本支撑起了一个印度古代史的框架。在国内多年来鲜少更新印度史著作的情况下，是不可多得的基础读物。
