    Legends of the Middle Ages: The Life and Legacy of Genghis Khan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Conquering the world from horseback is easy. It is dismounting and governing that is hard. (Genghis Khan) In a world fascinated by men like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan is one of history's greatest and most famous conquerors. No man, before or since, has ever started with so little and gone on to achieve so much. From a noble family, but raised in poverty that drove him to the brink of starvation, Genghis Khan rose to control the second-largest empire the world has ever known (the largest being, arguably, the British Empire of the 18th and 19th centuries), and easily the largest empire conquered by a single man. And while many empires disintegrate upon the death of an emperor, like Alexander the Great's, Genghis Khan's empire endured and was actually enlarged by his successors, who went on to establish dynasties that, in some cases, lasted for centuries. Though history is usually written by the victors, the lack of a particularly strong writing tradition among the Mongols ensured that history was largely written by those whom Genghis Khan vanquished. Because of this, Genghis Khan's portrayal in the West and the Middle East has been extraordinarily (and in many ways unfairly) negative for centuries, at least until recent revisions to the historical record. Certainly, Genghis Khan was not a peaceful man, nor a particularly merciful one, and he famously boasted to the Khwaremzids that he was, "[T]he flail of God, come to punish you for your sins." However, the image of him as a bloodthirsty barbarian is largely the result of hostile propaganda; he was far more complex. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Hudspeth.

    Genghis Khan: History’s Greatest Conquerors (Conquerors of the World, Volume 1) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min
    Genghis Khan was without a doubt one of the greatest conquerors of all time. He changed the course of history with his small army of horsemen as he built an empire that spread from China to Europe! Genghis Khan, the myth, the man, the legend....Major metropolises would become ghost towns upon his arrival. Grown men would shake in fear at just the mention of his name, not even wanting to speak it lest the doom he wrought come down upon them. He was referred to in hushed whispers as simply the “Scourge of God”. For the superstitiously inclined of the ancient world, the destruction and chaos Genghis Khan engendered was so thoroughly complete that they believed he must have been sent by God to punish them. For them, the Mongols riding rapidly across the steppes toward their various homelands seemed to be nothing short of the horsemen of the apocalypse. When Khan arrived, the end was near. But who was Genghis Khan? We have heard many apocalyptic and dire descriptions, but who was he really? From his days as a poor and persecuted forager of the steppes to his years as world conqueror, this audiobook follows all the twists, turns, and gallops of Genghis Khan’s life. Inside, discover: The life of Genghis KhanThe power of his horsemen army and fear it left on its trailThe lands he conquered to built his empireKhan strategies to conquer the worldThe fall of his empireHis legacyScroll back up and click the "Buy Now" button at the top right side of this page to download your audiobook now!  ungekürzt.

    Fear Thy Name: How Genghis Khan's Brutality Created One of History's Largest Empires , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 206min
    Genghis Khan was arguably one of the most decisive figures in medieval history. He is responsible for the creation and management of one of history's largest empires. He did things during this rise to power, and the subsequent conquests that followed it, that will be remembered in history for their brutality and bloodshed, giving him a mixed reputation across the world. This biography explores the life of Genghis Khan, breaking down the benevolent unifier and leader, and the horrifically violent warlord that he was. The book traces the entirety of Genghis Khan's life, beginning with his humble beginnings as Temujin. The harrowing political instability which Temujin found himself born in gave way to his conquests across Mongolia, unifying the country with unprecedented sincerity. Upon taking power, Temujin became Genghis Khan, and set out to conquer what he was likely hoping would be the entire world. We follow the life of Genghis Khan and his Mongol army through their bloody campaigns on all borders of the rapidly expanding Mongolian Empire, and also what came of the empire after Genghis Khan's death. It is a truly magnificent story marked by ambition and violence. In a relatively short time, one man's willpower was able to change the world in sweepingly dramatic ways, and this biography paints the exciting picture of one of medieval history's most epic sagas. ungekürzt.

    The Golden Hawks of Genghis Khan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 364min
    You must not speak of the Golden Hawks! Word easily flies down the caravan trails to the ears of the Mongols in the land of Genghis Khan. And then, Jalair, the Mongols will come and slay you! With this warning from his grandfather, Kurush, the summer of 1218 in Samarkand begins for young Jalair. He has always been told that Mongols slew his father, Darien--the greatest hawker of the empire--and robbed him of a spectacular breed of hunting bird that Darien had perfected. Since then the Mongols have searched relentlessly for the son of the slain hawker. A broken promise and mysterious circumstances cause Jalair to risk the journey eastward to recapture the Golden Hawks. Striving at all costs to conceal his identity, the boy arrives at Karakorum, the city of Genghis Khan. There he finds not only the Golden Hawks but also a deepening of the mystery surrounding them and his father. Affectionately adopted into a Mongol family, Jalair continues to seek the answers he needs until finally, after treachery on a faraway caravan trail and a desperate struggle to save the last of the Golden Hawks, he finds the truth--in the presence of Genghis Khan himself. ungekürzt.

    Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World (eBook, ePUB)
    New York Times Bestseller • The startling true history of how one extraordinary man from a remote cornerof the world created an empire that led the world into the modern age. The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in twenty-five years than the Romans did in four hundred. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization. Vastly more progressive than his European or Asian counterparts, Genghis Khan abolished torture, granted universal religious freedom, and smashed feudal systems of aristocratic privilege. From the story of his rise through the tribal culture to the explosion of civilization that the Mongol Empire unleashed, this brilliant work of revisionist history is nothing less than the epic story of how the modern world was made.
