Description
The Horde: How the Mongols Changed the World by Marie Favereau is an ambitious and eloquent portrait of an empire that has long been misunderstood. This comprehensive history reveals the extraordinary commercial boom brought about by the Mongol Empire, which integrated distant civilizations for the first time. At its core, the Mongol Empire was a complex power-sharing arrangement between the khan and nobility, rewarding skillful administrators and fostering a mobile, innovative economic order. From their capital on the lower Volga River, the Mongols had a profound impact on state structures in Russia and across the Islamic world, disseminating sophisticated theories about the natural world and introducing new ideas of religious tolerance. Favereau's fresh and persuasive telling challenges our assumptions that nomads are peripheral to history, making it clear that we live in a world shaped by the Mongols.
