GENGHIS KHAN
Book ID/图书代码： 11320014B69273
English Summary/英文概要： Genghis Khan was by far the greatest conqueror the world has ever known, whose empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to central Europe, including all of China, the Middle East and Russia. So how did an illiterate nomad rise to such colossal power, eclipsing Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Napoleon? Credited by some with paving the way for the Renaissance, condemned by others for being the most heinous murderer in history, who was Genghis Khan?
His actual name was Temujin, and the story of his success is that of the Mongol people: a loose collection of fractious tribes who tended livestock, considered bathing taboo and possessed an unparallelled genius for horseback warfare. United under Genghis, a strategist of astonishing cunning and versatility, they could dominate any sedentary society they chose.
Combining fast-paced accounts of battles with rich cultural background and the latest scholarship, Frank McLynn brings vividly to life the strange world of the Mongols, describes Temujin’s rise from boyhood outcast to become Genghis Khan, and provides the most accurate and absorbing account yet of one of the most powerful men ever to have lived.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 迄今为止，成吉思汗仍是世界上最伟大的征服者，无人能超其右。他所征服的帝国从太平洋到中欧，包括了整个中国、中东地区和俄罗斯。一个不识字的游牧民如何成为这样权倾一时的统治者，甚至让亚历山大大帝、凯撒和拿破仑都无法与之相提并论呢？有人说他是文艺复兴的前提，也有人说他是历史上最臭名昭著的凶手，成吉思汗究竟是个怎么样的人？
他的真名叫做铁木真，他的成功是蒙古人的成功：这是一个零散的游牧民族，将洗澡视为禁忌，拥有马背上作战的天赋。成吉思汗显然拥有无与伦比的狡诈和战略，在他的统一领导下，他们几乎攻无不胜。
Frank McLynn结合了战争记录、深厚的文化背景以及最新的学术研究成果，生动地还原了蒙古人民与众不懂的世界，也描述了铁木真如何成长为成吉思汗，并提供了有关这位世界上最有权势的人最准确和引人入胜的记录和证据。（LYR）
