This French book covers the Eastern part of the great historical region of Bengal, Bangladesh has experienced a complex and eventful history in recent decades. It is indeed a young state, since it was born in 1971, but with a prestigious past. This country is built around a double identity: linguistic on the one hand, because Bengali is the vehicle of a particularly rich culture, and religious on the other, to the extent that Islam, established in the region since the 13th century, is followed by 90% of the population. This does not prevent Bangladesh from strongly claiming its Hindu and Buddhist past and promoting the heritage that results from it. For the very first time, the greatest masterpieces of Bangladeshi museums are leaving their country to be presented to Western audiences. On this occasion, this work is intended to be more than a simple catalogue of the exhibition and offers a summary of the history and art of this country. Richly illustrated, it brings together contributions from Bangladeshi and Western researchers. The topic is organized into five parts: the country, history, religions, archaeology and heritage. This vast introduction is followed by detailed and illustrated notes on each of the works. A glossary and a rich bibliography complete the package. Intended not only for specialists but for amateurs and the general educated public, this work allows you to discover a largely unpublished facet of a country that is too often unknown. it brings together contributions from Bangladeshi and Western researchers.
