François Bernier's celebrated account of seventeenth-century Mughal India remains one of the most important European eyewitness narratives of the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb. Originally published in French in 1670 and presented here in Irving Brock's influential 1826 English translation, these volumes provide detailed observations of court life, politics, religion, geography and society across northern India.
