Beset by droughts and food shortages in recent years, it is the home of the Sahariyas, former bonded laborers, officially classified as Rajasthan’s only “primitive tribe.” From afar, we might consider this the bleakest of the bleak, but in Poverty and the Quest for Life, Bhrigupati Singh asks us to reconsider just what quality of life means. He shows how the Sahariyas conceive of aspiration, advancement, and vitality in both material and spiritual terms, and how such bridging can engender new possibilities of life.

Summary:
Au seizième siècle, l’Empire ottoman est à son apogée. Alors que Michel-Ange travaille à la construction de Saint-Pierre du Vatican, Sinan, architecte impérial du sultan, érige les plus célèbres mosquées ottomanes, parmi lesquelles la Süleymaniye et la Selimye. Qui aurait pu prédire le destin de cet enfant chrétien – sa famille est originaire d’Arménie – arraché aux siens pour servir l’Empire ottoman ? Enrôlé et converti, le jeune Sinan parcourt le vaste territoire ottoman au sein du corps des janissaires. De Damas en Bulgarie, de Bagdad à Istanbul, ce fils de charpentier passe vingt-cinq ans dans le génie à construire et restaurer des ponts, des forteresses et autres édifices civils ou religieux. En 1538, il a cinquante ans quand, ses mérites reconnus, il est nommé architecte impérial sur ordre du sultan. Sous les règnes de Soliman le Magnifique, de Selim II, puis de Murat III, Sinan construit plus de cinq cents bâtiments (mosquées, palais, écoles, ponts, hôpitaux…) à travers l’empire. Illustré de photographies d’Ara Güler ainsi que de plans d’architecte, Sinan, architecte de Soliman le Magnifique présente les plus grandes réalisations de l’architecte ottoman et atteste l’accomplissement d’un homme qui a laissé son empreinte sur une civilisation entière. Son œuvre et ses mémoires constituent un témoignage essentiel sur l’âge d’or ottoman.
