Overview of Ashoka (Puffin Lives) Book

Ashoka the Great, the ruler of ancient India s largest kingdom, took the path of peace, tolerance, non-violence and compassion after a fierce battle in Kalinga. He now addressed his subjects as a father would his children, and erected pillars that spread his thoughts throughout the land in the people s own language. He put their welfare above all else and worked towards that for the rest of his life. One of the most well-known symbols from India s history, the Ashoka chakra, now adorns India s national flag, and the lion capital from his pillars is our national emblem. In this lively, engrossing account of Ashoka s life and the times, Subhadra Sen Gupta deftly brings him alive again from behind the swirling mists of time.
