Jean-Paul Roux - Tamerlane. Gift book bound in leather.

The book tells about the life and work of Tamerlane, one of the most famous rulers in world history. He reigned for 35 years, starting in 1370 and ending in 1405. During this time, he waged successful wars in vast territories from Delhi to the Aegean Sea and from Damascus to Chinese Turkestan.

Tamerlane was not just a name, but a whole myth that has come down to our days. This lame man with a crippled arm possessed incredible energy and endurance. He did not like to talk about his terrible military actions, but at the same time did not prevent the spread of rumors about his numerous murders.

The book "Tamerlane" not only tells about the life and deeds of the great conqueror, but also immerses the reader in the atmosphere of an era when horseback riding was commonplace. This makes it not just a historical source, but also a valuable artifact that will be interesting and useful for anyone interested in the history of the East.
