This book is a new heavyweight work in the field of research on the history of the Mongolian Empire in recent years. From the perspective of world history and global history, the author focuses on describing the Eurasian cultural exchanges promoted by Genghis Khan and the emergence of a new Eurasian world after the successive collapse of the Mongolian khanates. Under the forcible promotion of the Mongol rulers, the East and the West began a process of mutual exchange, and a new Eurasian culture was born under the "Mongol rule." This, to a certain extent, corrected the image of Mongolia as a barbarian who destroyed the civilized world.
Reader comments
It turns out that the Mongols were not only conquerors, but also promoted cultural exchanges and the formation of the Eurasian world to a certain extent. This reminds me of the book "The Silk Road". They both explore the exchanges and influences between different cultures. The influence of the Mongol Empire on world history mentioned in the book, especially the revelation of the Age of Discovery, also reminded me of the characters in "The Travels of Marco Polo". I like history books like this, which allow me to see the wider world and the collision of different cultures.
The idea is grand, the context is clear, and it is highly summarized. The writing style is lively and readable. The content is comprehensive and clearly organized.
