Paperback. Zustand: Good. Discover Majapahit, the mighty empire in Southeast Asia that many have never heard of. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Majapahit kingdom reigned supreme in eastern Java, and its influence stretched far and wide, throughout present-day Indonesia, parts of the Malay peninsula and the island of Tumasek, now Singapore. Majapahit's army famously repelled Kublai Khan's invasion, and its formidable navy humbled even the renowned Portuguese mariners. Walk the bustling streets of Majapahit, a melting pot of aristocratic Javanese, shaven-head Brahmins, hermits in bark cloth, widows dressed in white, and Chinese, Persian and Arab traders. Discover beautiful temples and imposing palaces, and markets brimming with goods from all over Asia. At the heart of Majapahit's story are eccentric kings and queens embroiled in bloody family feuds, and a tipsy court scribe who has the good sense to write down everything he sees. Witness the drama of royal intrigues, murders, revenge and war. This is not just the story of an empire's rise and fall, it is an exploration of a society rich in religious diversity, social tolerance and artistic achievement, and a society - much like Indonesia today - which must navigate its way in the challenging tapestry of Chinese and Southeast Asian geopolitics.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the greatest empire in Southeast Asia did not truly disappear. but transformed into the world we know today Majapahit Empire: The Maritime Power That Shaped Early Indonesia takes you deep into the rise, golden age, and decline of one of the most powerful civilizations in Asian history.

From China to India, from Champa to the Malay world, its influence reached far beyond Java. Why does Majapahit still matter today Because its legacy lives on in cultural traditions, national identity, and the powerful idea of unity in diversity. What seemed like the fall of an empire was actually the beginning of a new regional order shaped by religion, commerce, and shifting sea routes.

You will also uncover the hidden transitions that led to Majapahit's decline and the rise of new powers like Malacca and Demak.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Filled with historical photographs and visual references, Majapahit Empire takes you into the fascinating world of one of Southeast Asia's most remarkable kingdoms.What was Majapahit really like at the height of its power Was it truly an empire that controlled the entire Nusantara, or has its story been enlarged by centuries of legend and national memory This book explores Majapahit's history from the world that existed before its foundation to the political struggles that eventually weakened the kingdom. You will meet Raden Wijaya, the founder who survived extraordinary political upheaval; Gajah Mada, the influential statesman whose vision became closely associated with Nusantara; and Hayam Wuruk, whose reign is remembered as Majapahit's golden age.But this is not only a story about kings and conquest.You will discover how Majapahit functioned as a society, how farmers and craftsmen supported its economy, how merchants connected Java to wider Asian trade networks, and how ships carried people, goods, and military forces across the seas.You will also explore the temples, art, literature, religious traditions, royal ceremonies, military organization, and everyday experiences that made Majapahit more than a name on an old map.The book takes a careful look at one of the most important questions surrounding Majapahit: how far did its power actually reach Rather than presenting popular legends as unquestioned facts, it separates political influence from direct rule and examines what historical sources can-and cannot-tell us.From the rise of the kingdom to its golden age, from the Bubat tragedy to the political pressures that followed Hayam Wuruk's death, the story gradually reveals how powerful states can change long before they finally disappear.And when Majapahit ceased to exist as a political power, its story did not end.Its cultural influence continued in Java and Bali, while its memory became part of the way later generations understood Southeast Asia's past.If you have ever wondered what life was really like inside a medieval Southeast Asian kingdom, how an island empire maintained connections across the sea, or why Majapahit still captures the imagination today, this book offers a clear and engaging place to begin.Step into Majapahit's world-and discover the people, ambitions, conflicts, and ideas behind one of Southeast Asia's most enduring historical legacies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Flourishing in East Java, Indonesia, between the late 13th and the early 16th centuries, art from Majapahit had a decisive influence on the development of Southeast Asian culture: its highly distinctive style was characterized by the subtle balance between form and decoration and by a rich iconography strongly influenced by Sivaism and Buddhism. Today, these Majapahit artworks still constitute a highly interesting field of research, but they have been surprisingly far too little studied or published worldwide. This volume presents an exceptional selection of 86 Majapahit terracotta sculptures covering a wide range of sophisticated iconographyanimals, images of motherhood, divinitiesall drawn from popular legends of the period and part of a broader narrative series waiting to be discovered.…
