Writer and historian William Dalrymple found some priceless gems of history writing this year

- William Dalrymple

Stranger Than Fiction

I hugely enjoyed Patrick Olivelle's beautifully written and utterly compelling new biography, Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King. I was intrigued by his speculations about Hellenistic and Seleucid influence at the Mauryan court, and the picture he painted of a cosmopolitan and multicultural Pataliputra. I was also intrigued by Olivelle's ideas about how Ashoka's own conception of dharma may have differed from that of the Buddha. Ashoka is a wonderful book and bodes promisingly for Ram Guha's new series of biographies, Indian Lives.

Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King An illuminating biography reconstructing the life and legacy of a unique king in world history and the most famous emperor in South Asian history. Shop Now
