Stones of Empire: The Buildings of the Raj
written by Jan Morris, introduction by Simon Winchester

Stones of Empire brings together two leading authors in a very personal investigation of the British architectural legacy in India. The text and photographs illustrate the buildings both as objects and as reflections of an empire's mingled emotions, charting a unique enterprise in architecture, engineering, and social adaptation.

• The classic work on British architecture in India, with 'magical prose and marvellous photographs' Sunday Times, now reissued with a brand-new foreword by Simon Winchester
• Rebecca West called Jan Morris 'perhaps the best descriptive writer of our times', and Alastair Cooke hailed her as the 'Flaubert of the jet age'. She is the author of Pax Britannica, and many other books on places and travel

"...magical prose and marvellous photographs."
--Sunday Times
