Krátky popis
'By the Power of Eternal Heaven; By the Protection of the Majestic
Imperial Fortune.' Born a poor nomad in an unforgiving world,
Chinggis (or Genghis) Khan transformed the thirteenth century,
ultimately ruling an empire that would stretch from Korea to Crimea
and Syria to Siberia. Much of what we know about Chinggis comes
from the horrified comments of foreign chroniclers, but there is
one exceptional and authentic source: The Secret History of the
Mongols, written after Chinggis's death to be read exclusively by
the Mongolian imperial family (hence 'secret' to all other
readers). This new translation gives an unparalleled insight into
one of the transformative moments in world history and a society
where unchecked swagger, menace, and ambition lay side by side with
unexpected tenderness and vulnerability. Based around kinship,
horses, yurts, weapons and immense spaces, The Secret History is a
sometimes opaque and mysterious saga that brings the reader face to
face with nomad warlords and their ladies impelled by Heaven's
uncanny destiny. This remarkable new translation does full justice
to the earliest surviving work written in Mongolian. With an
introduction by translator Christopher P. Atwood.
