Genghis Khan and the birth of the modern world

This exciting book by Jack Weserford, an anthropologist and an expert on the culture of tribal peoples, who has been studying the history of Mongolia for more than 30 years, became a world bestseller and withstood many reprints. Having studied all the well -known sources and independently made an incredible journey through the traces of the Great Khan, Weserford collected unique materials that became the basis of a fascinating narrative about one of the most contradictory, but invariably cult and mysterious figures that changed the world. “In 1997, I began research on the“ secret legend of the Mongols ”, legends and stories collected by descendants about Genghis Khan. Initially, my task was to study all the episodes dedicated to him, and especially those places where the events that took place in Mongolia and throughout China and Central Asia were mentioned. What I discovered was so interesting that it inspired me to create this book. I think that we underestimate the spiritual heritage of the Great Khan and the uniqueness of the approach to many issues that his imperial project made successful. ”
