Nonetheless, Zafar—a mystic, poet, and calligrapher of great accomplishment—created  a court of unparalleled brilliance, and gave rise to perhaps the greatest literary  renaissance in modern Indian history. All the while, the British were progressively  taking over the Emperor's power. When, in May 1857, Zafar was declared the leader  of an uprising against the British, he was powerless to resist though he strongly  suspected that the action was doomed. Four months later, the British took Delhi,  the capital, with catastrophic results. With an unsurpassed understanding of British  and Indian history, Dalrymple crafts a provocative, revelatory account of one the  bloodiest upheavals in history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62344924201347,"sku":"9781400078332","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781400078332.jpg?v=1786254787","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-last-mughal-9781400078332","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
