Krátky popis
An epic history of how the so-called 'barbarians of the steppes'
shaped the modern world. ‘A rollercoaster of historical narration’
History Today'This is a history of epic scope that brings together
the empires of the steppe land with the caravan cities of the Silk
Road and imperial China' Martyn Rady, author of The Middle
Kingdoms'A sweeping account of forty-five centuries of nomadic
tribes' Gillian Tett, Financial Times'Flips the script to present
the booted, felt-capped, leather-trousered and kaftan-wearing
nomads as the bearers of civilisation . .. Harl's exhaustively
researched book will ensure they rejoin the narrative of world
history' Marc David Baer, GuardianThe barbarian nomads of the
Eurasian steppes played a decisive role in world history, but their
achievements have gone largely unnoticed. These tribes produced
some of the world’s greatest conquerors: Attila the Hun, Genghis
Khan and Tamerlane, among others.And their deeds still resonate
today. Indeed, these nomads built long-lasting empires, facilitated
the first global trade of the Silk Road and disseminated religions,
technology, knowledge and goods of every description that enriched
and changed the lives of so many across Europe, China and the
Middle East. From a single region emerged a great many peoples –
the Huns, the Mongols, the Magyars, the Turks, the Xiongnu, the
Scythians, the Goths – all of whom went on to profoundly and
irrevocably shape the modern world.In this enthralling new history,
Professor Kenneth W. Harl draws on a lifetime of scholarship to
vividly recreate the lives of these peoples from their beginnings
to the early modern age. Their brutal struggle to survive on the
steppes bred a resilient, pragmatic people ever-ready to learn from
their neighbours.In warfare, they dominated the battlefield for
over fifteen hundred years. Under charismatic rulers, they could
topple empires and win their own.
