Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Journey into the untamed heart of the Mongolian Empire in the 13th century, where Friar William of Rubruck embarks on a perilous mission to deliver a letter to the Great Khan Sartach. This captivating account transports you to a world of nomadic tribes, vast steppes, and the enigmatic court of Sartach, a rumored convert to Christianity. Through Rubruck's observant eyes, witness the Mongols' unique customs, their nomadic lifestyle, and their intricate system of justice. The friar's descriptions of the Mongols' beliefs, from their reverence for the sun and moon to their belief in an all-powerful sky god, shed light on the spiritual and cultural landscape of this formidable empire. Rubruck's vivid observations challenge assumptions and offer a nuanced understanding of a people often portrayed as mere barbarians. This extraordinary chronicle not only recounts an extraordinary journey but also provides invaluable insights into the complex interactions and cultural exchanges between the East and West during a pivotal era of history. Rubruck's account remains a testament to the courage, curiosity, and resilience of the human spirit in the face of the unknown.
