Genghis Khan

The historical novel by the famous writer Vasily Yan «Genghis Khan» tells the story of the great commander of the 13th century. The hordes of Mongolian tribes swept across the land with fire and sword, moving from East to West.

There was no force capable of resisting the might of the created army. This book is about the Conqueror and the conquered lands, about the struggles of strong characters and the role of an individual who reshaped the map of the known Oikumene, just as Alexander the Great did with his army.

What did the Mongol yoke bring to the peoples of Asia? Enlightenment or oblivion? What lies behind the attempt of a single nation to conquer the world?
