Muy buena obra sobre la Horda y como cambió la dinámica a raíz del comercio que generó y administró durante años en el centro de Asia. Cosa curiosa una civilización que persistió siendo transumante y nómada todo su desarrollo. Explica también el origen de Rusia como ese encaballamiento entre occidente y oriente que aún persiste en toda su historia ( ) Only read first 100 pages, so i can't really review it. Didn't get me where i wanted to go.... certainly an appreciation of the virtues of the Mongol way and a counteractive to long held negative perceptions, but i got bogged down in the specific moves- both geographically and family lineage. Not a criticism, just now what i was looking for. A sweeping, epic history of the Ulus Jochi, or Golden Horde: one of the successor khanates which emerged out of the Mongol Empire in the mid-thirteenth century and survived into the mid-sixteenth century. In The Horde: How the Mongols Changed the World, Marie Favereau marshals an impressive array of sources to make the case that the achievements of the Golden Horde have often been misunderstood or discounted by later historians, trained as they were to think of sedentary agriculture and urbanism as both economically and morally superior to nomadic empires. The various Mongol states were thus, to this world view, simply temporary waves of violent invasion breaking west across the steppes, the Mongols "mere pirates of the land." Favereau argues instead both for the Jochids as skilled and flexible administrators of empire, and for the Horde as exercising a profound legacy across a great swathe of Eurasia. I found the earlier chapters of the book, where Favereau concentrates more on the big-picture socio-cultural history, to be more engaging than the latter part, where it transitions into a more conventional political/military account. Still, a fascinating read and one with much to offer to those interested in medieval history or the history of empire. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
"The Mongols are universally known as conquerors, but they were more than that: influential thinkers, politicians, engineers, and merchants. Challenging the view that nomads are peripheral to history, The Horde reveals the complex empire the Mongols built and traces its enduring imprint on politics and society in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
