Nacido en una pequeña y pobre tribu mongola, en pleno desierto de Gobi, acabó alcanzando la gloria gracias a su espíritu guerrero e indómito, dando origen a un dominio que se extendió sobre todo un continente. Taylor Caldwell nos brinda la oportunidad de conocer el entorno en el que creció, su familia, en particular su muy influyente tío Kurelen, sus amigos y su primer ámbito de conquista: las mujeres. En una sociedad salvaje y de tradiciones atávicas, sólo una personalidad tan arrebatadora como la de Genghis Khan podía llegar a las cimas de dominio y poder alcanzadas por el legendario mongol. La autora muestra el lado más humano de un personaje que destacaría más tarde por su inhumanidad, personaje lleno de contrastes cuando todavía se encuentra en la fase de definición de su personalidad. La reconstrucción histórica, como siempre en el caso de Taylor Caldwell, es impresionante y el retrato de los personajes magnífico. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

From a #1 New York Times-bestselling author: A "magnificent" epic based on the early life of Genghis Khan (New York Herald Tribune). This sweeping saga captures life in the Far East during the Middle Ages and dramatizes the events that transformed a Mongol tribesman named Temujin into the man who would conquer Asia and be known to the world for centuries to come as Genghis Khan. Raised by an indomitable woman and educated by his outcast uncle, Temujin becomes a fearsome warrior who inspires loyalty in his friends and hatred in his enemies. But he is also blessed with a keen intelligence and the charisma of a natural born leader. In an era marked by treachery and savage violence, these gifts lead Temujin to a relentless pursuit of power. From the Gobi Desert to Samarkand, Taylor Caldwell transports readers to a distant world and shines a brilliant light on one of history's most enigmatic figures. On her "huge historical canvas . . . blood spurts from the knife; beads of sweat stand out on straining flesh; lusts are consummated and revenges achieved" (New York Herald Tribune).
