Ebook About `Written with all the wit and assurance we have come to expect from this remarkable author, In Search of Genghis Khan is...a delight' - Daily Mail In the month of the Horse, in the Year of the White Horse, Tim Severin along with six Mongol companions and photographer Paul set out on an extraordinary journey. Intent on following the paths trodden by the soldiers of Genghis Khan in the thirteenth century, they ventured to cross some of the most remote and inhospitable territory of Mongolia, the Dead Heart, of Asia. Many surprises awaited them as they found their way through the barren terrain: the August snows, the Black Death that still breaks out every year among the horse herders, the ancient lamas who had hidden among the common people during the great anti-religious purges, and the toothless shaman woman. But perhaps the greatest surprise was that after years of Communist repression, the Mongols are once again reviving the cult of Genghis Khan, worshipping a man whom they regard as Father of their Nation, their greatest leader and lawgiver.In Search of Genghis Khan is perfect for fans of William Dalrymple, Simon Sebag Montefiore and Colin Thubron.Praise for Tim Severin: `Severin...is there for the ride and he writes about it well. His sense of humour, his eye for landscape, his nose for character — not to mention his stomach for boiled sheep's guts have combined to dish up a juicy tale' - Financial Times Tim Severin is an explorer, film-maker and lecturer, who has made many expeditions, from crossing the Atlantic in a medieval leather boat to going out in search of Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe. He has won the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, the Book of the Sea Award, a Christopher Prize, and the literary medal of the Academie de la Marine. He books include ‘Crusader’, ‘The Sindbad Voyage’, ‘The Brendan Voyage’, ‘The Jason Voyage’ and ‘The Ulysses Voyage’.Book In Search of Genghis Khan Review :
Tim took a trip, that I would never consider. During his story, I learned what it must be like to live in Mongolia. Extremely cold, extremely primitive, the worst food and drink I ever heard about. The people he met, were generous with whatever they had, which was in most cases the mear substance of life. His decision on the person to lead the trip, was a big disappointment. He may have been better off with his own crew.What he learned about Genghis Khan, he seemed to already know before he started. I just never learned how he managed to form an army from the peasants that only seemed to raise horses. How did he organize these men to fight and travel to parts of the world they never knew existed. How did their families live without their man power when they went off to war?I realize that he lived long ago, and do not understand what records were ever kept to document his exploits. It sounds like anything that did exist, was destroyed by the Soviet Union, when they controlled that portion of the world. Yet, every thing about the area, seems so primitive. Seems like I will have to read more history on the subject, if I want to know about Genghis Khan. Tim Severin was invited to join a ride that would replicate the Mongol version of the Pony Express; two thirds of this book is about the ups and downs of that journey across the steppes of Mongolia. Severin talks about the recent and ancient history of the Mongols; visits a resurrected lamasery put together by monks that had been in hiding for over four decades; rides through the Hangay, the most scenic area of Mongolia; meets with Kazakh eagle hunters; visits an ancient shamaness; and goes on a shakedown horseback pilgrimage to Burkhan Khaldun, the holy mountain and birthplace of Genghis Khan.On the downside of this narrative is Tim Severin's continual frustrations with the leader of this cross-country ride that ostensibly is being done to celebrate the glory of the 800th birthday of the Great Khan. His carping about the incompetencies of this guy, as valid as they may have been, end up being a real drag on the story of the adventure. The reading starts to get wearisome at the half way point, with the particulars and extraneous frictions between the personalities feeling like the author is dumping on the wondering reader. But, stick with it - the narrative picks up the last third of the book and Severin redeems himself.Tim Severin's writing is definitely not of the caliber and gripping narration of "The Brendan Voyage" (see review). Yet, it still is a great story and presents much in the way of entertaining details. You may wish to read this book in conjunction with Jack Weatherford's book on Genghis Khan (see review).
