蒙古往事

Before they even have a script of their own, the Mongol horsemen sweep across Eurasia, break open the settled civilizations in their path and found the largest steppe empire the world has known. The novel follows Genghis Khan and the world of the steppe that stretches from sunrise to sunset, bringing back the faces and voices of eight hundred years ago: blood feuds and campaigns, old customs, mysterious intuitions, sayings and soliloquies. Rather than the great sweep of the wars, it dwells on small things, an object, a gesture, a look, that bring the moments of history within reach.
