The Romance of China's Most Promising Emperor: Genghis Khan
by Cai Dongfan
About This Novel
The "Romances of China's Most Promising Emperors" series of books selects eight most promising emperors in Chinese history from the "Popular Romance of Chinese Dynasties" written by Mr. Cai Dongfan (based on the 1935 Huiwentang printed version, retaining the author's annotations) and compiles them into a book. This series of books has both historical and literary qualities. It "takes official history as the basis and strives for certainty; it uses anecdotes as the weft and does not make false accusations." Readers can not only read history but also appreciate legendary stories, which is the best of both worlds. This book is one of them. This book tells the life of Genghis Khan, Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, including his childhood experiences, the war of the Thirteen Wings, the unification of the tribes, the rise and expansion, the enfeoffment of households, the model of Khwarazm and his death. Temujin was one of the greatest organizers and military strategists in history. His glorious achievements in politics and on the battlefield were few that could match him before the twentieth century.
