French Edition by Asoka (Author), Jules Bloch (Translator)

Purchase options and add-ons

Sacre vers - 260 avant J.-C., l'empereur Asoka, de la dynastie Maurya, regna durant trente-six ans et unifia le plus vaste territoire connu de l'histoire indienne. Souverain longtemps legendaire, repute pour avoir tue ses quatre-vingt-dix-neuf freres afin d'acceder au pouvoir, il entra dans l'Histoire avec la decouverte, a partir de 1837, de plusieurs piliers situes a des milliers de kilometres les uns des autres et portant de longues inscriptions redigees a la premiere personne: ce sont ses Edits. Dans ces textes, qui commencent par la formule " Le roi ami des dieux au regard amical parle ainsi ", Asoka enonce, dans les six premiers: le progres de la Loi, la definition de la Loi, le peche, les devoirs des controleurs et la protection des animaux. S'y ajoutent ensuite diverses mesures pour le bien-etre des populations et autres ordonnances. La philosophie qui inspire les Edits est bouddhiste, et l'Empereur regrette les guerres du debut de son regne, mais il ne renie pas le brahmanisme. Soucieux d'etre compris de ses sujets, Asoka a fait ecrire ses Edits en divers dialectes locaux, proches du prakrit (lui-meme derive du sanscrit), et adoptant les graphies du lieu. Ces Edits, qui forment un bref traite de politique et de morale, sont uniques dans l'histoire humaine: jamais Empereur ne s'est exprime en termes semblables.
