Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'Marble enigma, most photographed of structures, the Taj Mahal lends its name to a prime brand of Indian tea bags and stands too as the world's great, extravagant monument to eternal love. This wry, brisk book is a delightful and fascinating excavation of the Taj Mahal's many layers of meanings.

With delicacy, creation, and yet succeeds in keeping its unworldly aura intact.'' Sunil Khilnani, author of The Idea of India. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Giles Tillotson tells us the human drama behind the building, particularity the relationship between Shaj Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who lie there.
