Cette édition numérique a été réalisée à partir d'un support physique, parfois ancien, conservé au sein du dépôt légal de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, conformément à la loi n° 2012-287 du 1er mars 2012 relative à l'exploitation des Livres indisponibles du XXe siècle. L'autorité suprême d'un seul est probablement la forme politique la plus répandue à travers le monde et ce depuis la nuit des temps. Le monarque, celui qui concentre tous les pouvoirs en sa personne, peut être chef de tribu, président de la République, tyran, dictateur ou encore roi, légitime ou non. Roland Mousnier analyse ici l'essence, l'exercice et les ressorts du pouvoir d'« un seul » à travers les âges, depuis la préhistoire jusqu'aux « monarchies totalitaires communistes », englobant toutes les civilisations et tous les continents. En découle un essai synthétique et brillant sur l'histoire du monde.

The Vijayanagara rajas ruled a substantial part of the southern peninsula of India for over three hundred years, beginning in the mid-fourteenth century, and during this epoch the region was transformed from its medieval past towards a modern colonial future. Concentrating on the later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century history of Vijayanagara, Burton Stein details the pattern of rule established in this important and long-lived Hindu kingdom, which was followed by other, often smaller, kingdoms of peninsular India until the onset of colonialism. Through an analysis of the politics, society and economy, Stein addresses the central question of the extent to which Vijayanagara, as a medieval Hindu kingdom, can be viewed as a prototype of the polities and societies confronted by the British in the late eighteenth century. This work thus presents an understanding of one of the great medieval kingdoms of India, and a more general assessment of the nature of the state, society and culture on the eve of European colonial rule.
