Inhaltsangabe

Romanced through the centuries as the land of kings and warriors, forts and palaces, of brave and gallant Rajputs and colour and festivals, Rajasthan is also a harsh and merciless land of hot winds, creeping sands, shifting sand dunes and devastating draughts. Journeys Through Rajasthan explores Rajasthan's wonders and its terrors and the fate of its people, caught in between the two faces of this enigmatic land.

Amrita Kumar hails from Todgarh in the remote highlands of Rajasthan, a village named after James Tod, the historian, whom her ancestors played host to in the early nineteenth century.

She has been vice-president and senior editor of Osian's Literary Agency, the managing editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica, associate editor at Penguin India and the editor-in-chief of Roli Books.

Aman Nath is a historian and co-author of thirteen illustrated books on art, history, architecture, corporate biography and photography, two of which have won national awards.
