A selection of the greatest buildings and monuments (temples, tombs, palaces and fortresses) of the five major areas of Asia ~ the Middle East, the Indo~Pakistan subcontinent, Southeast Asia, China and Japan ~ are described and illustrated in detail, presenting a vivid panorama of Eastern decorative and building arts, from the delicate mosaic tile~work of Islamic structures to the massive grandeur of the South Indian temples. Included in this fascinating and revealing tour of exotic lands are such notable sites as Lahore Fort, the cave temples at Ajanta, the Red Fort of Delhi, the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, the Forbidden City and Altar of Heaven in Peking, the Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto, and many others ( Ctesiphon. Samarra. Persepolis. Isfahan. Samarkand. Tomb of Rukn~i Alam. Wazir Khan's Mosque. Bhubaneswar. Madura and Srirangam. Fatehpur Sikri. Nepal. Shwe Dagon. Borobudur. Forbidden City. Ming Tombs. Horyu~ji temple. Todai~ji temple. Byodo~in.). Most of the superb photographs (40 in full color and almost 350 in monochrome) were specially taken for this book by Ian Graham during an extensive journey through the Eastern countries. These are supplemented by paintings and drawings by both native artists and Western travellers. The descriptive articles have been written by a distinguished team of experts and edited with an introduction by Sir Mortimer Wheeler. With its clear, non~technical text and lavish display of illustrations, SPLENDORS OF THE EAST provides an illuminating survey of the art, architecture and interior decor of the Orient. And since these are intimately related to Asia's cultures, philosophies and religions, this book is in fact a glowing evocation of the life and spirit of the Eastern peoples and nations. Sir Mortimer Wheeler is one of the world's most eminent archaeologists. He has been Director of the National Museum of Wales and Keeper of the London Museum. From 1934 to 1944 he was Honorary Director of the University of London Institute of Archaeology, and subsequently became Director General of Archaeology in India.
