Nacido en una pequeña y pobre tribu mongola, en pleno desierto de Gobi, acabó alcanzando la gloria gracias a su espíritu guerrero e indómito, dando origen a un dominio que se extendió sobre todo un continente. Taylor Caldwell nos brinda la oportunidad de conocer el entorno en el que creció, su familia, en particular su muy influyente tío Kurelen, sus amigos y su primer ámbito de conquista: las mujeres. En una sociedad salvaje y de tradiciones atávicas, sólo una personalidad tan arrebatadora como la de Genghis Khan podía llegar a las cimas de dominio y poder alcanzadas por el legendario mongol. La autora muestra el lado más humano de un personaje que destacaría más tarde por su inhumanidad, personaje lleno de contrastes show more cuando todavía se encuentra en la fase de definición de su personalidad. La reconstrucción histórica, como siempre en el caso de Taylor Caldwell, es impresionante y el retrato de los personajes magnífico. show less
