{"product_id":"9780500511541","title":"The Orient In A Mirror","description":"\u003cp\u003eCentral Asia is a vibrant mixture of civilizations and tongues; united by Islam, diversified by differing histories, cultures and languages. Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan and their neighbours are famed for their literature and their multi-hued arts and crafts, but few realize how alive, how close to the surface, their powerful and enduring traditions are. \"The Orient in a Mirror\" counterpoints the colour photographs of Roland and Sabrina Michaud with reproductions of 14th- to 19th-century central Asian miniatures. The two art forms enhance one another, providing a multifaceted insight into the glories of the region - from glimpses of students and solemn mullahs to Afghan horsemen, in a plethora of exotic beauty and colour. This book was acclaimed on first publication in 1980 but was long out of print. It is now republished in a revised and expanded form, with twice as many images.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Om Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096081662018,"sku":"9780500511541","price":2125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3276\/4738\/files\/9780500511541A.png?v=1774257202","url":"https:\/\/halfpe.com\/products\/9780500511541","provider":"HalfPe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
