A propos de cet article

Neuware - He promised to spare the city. Then he burned it to the ground.On the 17th of March 1401, the people of Damascus opened their gates and trusted a man who had given his word. What followed was one of the most savage acts of betrayal in the medieval world. Tens of thousands were killed. Thousands more were chained and marched into slavery. The ancient Umayyad Mosque, one of the most sacred buildings in all of Islam, was reduced to ash and rubble.The man responsible called himself the Sword of Islam.His name was Timur. And Damascus was just one city on a very long list.Timur: The Rise, Conquests, and Brutal Legacy of History's Most Feared Asian Conqueror is the gripping, meticulously crafted account of a ruler so extreme in his contradictions that history has never quite known what to do with him. He built one of the most magnificent cities on earth while reducing others to fields of skulls. He funded schools, commissioned breathtaking mosques and turned Samarkand into a wonder that left foreign ambassadors speechless. He also oversaw the deaths of an estimated ten to twenty million people across Central Asia, Persia, India and the Middle East.Few people know that the Taj Mahal carries the architectural DNA of the very empire Timur built in the ruins of the cities he destroyed.Inside these pages, you will follow Timur from his obscure birth near the town of Kesh in what is now Uzbekistan, through his years as a minor raider operating in a collapsing political landscape, through the injury that left him permanently lame and seemingly more determined than ever, and through forty years of military campaigns that remade the map of Asia. You will witness the fall of Baghdad, the betrayal of Damascus, the destruction of Delhi and the defeat of the Ottoman Sultan at Ankara. You will also see the scholar behind the conqueror, the builder behind the destroyer, and the cultural legacy that outlasted the empire itself by centuries.What you are about to discover will permanently change how you see power, ambition and the price of greatness.This book is for readers who refuse to accept simple versions of complicated history. For anyone drawn to the grand sweep of medieval empires, Central Asian history, Mongol legacy or the origins of the Mughal world, this is the account you have been waiting for.The story of the most feared conqueror the medieval world ever produced is waiting for you.…
