800 years ago, a fire broke out in Europe and Asia, the name of which the Tatar-Mongol invasion. His flame, burning everything in its path, rolled east and west, north and south, absorbing entire civilizations.
This fire was terrible, but the most desperate, curious and reckless Europeans – merchants, spies, missionaries, ambassadors – and, if they returned, struck the imagination of compatriots with fantastic stories, flew on it, like moths on a candle.
Many famous travelers visited here: Rashid-ad-Din, Plano Karpini, Guille de Rubruk, Ibn Battuta, Johann Shiltberger, who saw the miracles and horrors of the Golden Horde with their own eyes. Before you are evidence of eyewitnesses, the narratives of which cover almost the entire period of the existence of the Golden Horde.
Like all publications of the Great Travels series, the book is perfectly designed, equipped with hundreds of black and white and color illustrations, detailed biographical and historical comments.
