This is my starting time book read on mighty Genghis Khan.

I take seen a picture show and I was able to chronicle the first half with the movie. The part of princess Ankhtuya (sorry if I have misspelled) was new for me.

A nice book.

The Legend of Genghis Khan: Untold Story of the Conqueror Past Sutapa Basu

Historical Fiction - a tough genre to crack and brand it entertaining too - A catchy spousal relationship of fact and imagination - Sutapa Basu, very lovingly and painstakingly fleshes out staid historical figures, imbibes them with emulating worthy traits and frailties, thereby making them very relatable and utterly reachable. In her new book, she pens the story of Genghis Khan, bringing him back to life.
Genghis Khan, in popular perception, is considered to be an errant tyrant who had wreaked havoc with mass executions, in the lands he had conquered. Is he a savage or a savant? A mystic or a marauder?
Every bit we get through her prolific prose, we realize that Genghis considered himself to be destiny'southward child whose call was to unify the nomadic tribes and create a vast Mongol Empire. He skillful meritocracy and encouraged religious tolerance. Women played a great role in molding him and women held important posts in his reign.
A standout aspect of Sutapa Sa's superlative writing is her superior command over the language. What a pleasance to read her descriptions! She paints exact pictures with apt words. So much to learn from this erudite author.
Kudos to Sutapa Sa for making this much-maligned monarch an engaging human. Go pick a re-create. Yous surely wouldn't be disappointed.

Before I picked up Genghis Khan past Sutapa Basu all I knew about him was that he was an antecedent of Babur and a very cruel 1 at that. There have been several great conquerers who have fix out to own the world. I observe them intriguing. What drives them? Power? Money? What keeps them going in the face of extreme adversity? How do they motivate an entire army of people to believe in their cause, to follow them and their dream, to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks?

For those reasons I found The Legend of Genghis Khan fascinating – the man, the story, the story telling – all of information technology.

The Story
Born as Temujin to the leader of a Mongol tribe, Genghis Khan is prophesied to exist a great homo. A shaman interprets the signs at the fourth dimension of his birth that signal the makings of a conqueror. That's the idea that little Temujin grows upwards with. He accepts it and owns information technology till it becomes a belief firmly rooted in his mind and later, the biggest truth of his life. It is this idea – that he is destined to craft a vast Mongolian empire – that remains his guiding light during the darkest times of despair and through the toughest decisions of his life. He pursues it with awe-inspiring unmarried mindedness.

The Review
No fictional tale could compete with Genghis Khan's life. He goes from being a clan leader'south pampered son to a fatherless boy, to a leader himself, then a helpless captive in a hostile country until he finally realises his destiny. Khan's life was a roller coaster.

The book begins with his men plundering a palace, destroying, burning, killing and taking prisoner. Amongst the prisoners is princess Enkhtuya. When she is brought earlier the Khan, something almost her makes him pause.

Then on the story flits between the nowadays and by with glimpses of the Khan's babyhood, even every bit he and his men plan and launch assail afterward attack conquering vast territories.

The introduction of Princess Enkhtuya was a brilliant thought. Her character added a whole new dimension to Genghis Khan. Basu manages to requite us a glimpse of his gentler side, without taking away from the image of a ruthless conqueror. For some mysterious reason he has a soft spot for her, even so he remains focussed on his life's mission and none of her entreaties can persuade him to show mercy to his enemies.

The story flows simply and well equally we follow the Khan through dry desert areas with raging sandstorms to freezing ice lands. The writing is evocative and the characters consistent.

Information technology is a storyteller'south delight as well as a challenge. The research must have been mind-boggling. What I loved about is the objectivity with which Basu approaches this story. It is piece of cake, almost natural, to admire/love your protagonist and to go on to justify him/his actions. Sutapa Basu manages to not to exercise that. She tells the tale like a seasoned chronicler remaining truthful to the tale and nothing else. She writes without attempting to glorify Genghis Khan – without apologies, without explanations – a little like the man himself. She lets his faults and his achievements speak for themselves.

The Fable of Genghis Khan skilfully treads the line between history and fiction. Read this one for some great story telling.

Last thought: If yous're non a not-fiction reader simply are a bit of a history buff this volume is for you.

It was a nice short book, and unfortunately although it called "Untold story of the conquistador", almost every matter was known to me.
At that place is much detailed (and much better IMHO) series called "Conqueror" past Conn Iggulden, to all who loved this book, and wants to know more than about Mongol empire.

Historical fiction is a hard genre to write. The author spends a lot of pages describing the apparel, food, culture etc. Just, does not do any justice to the history or story.
The central characters are ill-defined, and fifty-fifty Genghis Khan looks more of a caricature.
In the end, the author pours out the unabridged sequence of history in a dry style.
The clarification of attacks is not realistic.
In the end, the story can neither justify Genghis nor criticize him.

A romantic rendering of the great Genghis Khan. Historically the book tries to be accurate, but the attempt to make it romantic,,,, sort of dulls the whole thing. Skillful try past the author, just i think the subject in question does not do justice.

Hmm. This didn't practise it for me at all. Played out like a Bollywood motion picture without the dancing. Needed spicing up with some of what Khan was famous for, rather than fugitive all of that almost entirely.
