Genghis

Birth of an Empire

De: Conn Iggulden

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

From the author of the best-selling The Dangerous Book for Boys.

Genghis Khan was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Shaped by abandonment and betrayal, Temujin endured, driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon.

Through a series of courageous raids, Temujin's legend grew until he was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of 1,000 warhorses, to subject all nations and empires to his will.

historical fiction is so interesting

I liked everything about this book. I now have listened to four books from this author and everyone has been informative and very interesting and entertaining.

Mind boggling

Literally my favorite book now, and that’s saying a lot because i’ve read hundreds of them.

Fascinating Story

This was a very interesting story. The narrator was a little boring at first but his voice improved as I listened. I will move on to book two next and see if the quality is still there.

Compelling

Literally, could not stop listening. Hit the sleep timer two or three times at night staying up past midnight. Almost all of the book was packed with anticipation, excitement, anxiety, or hope. So good

amazing

I have all these books in paper as well. love all of his books. easily my favorite author

Felt I Was there drinking my airag with ‘em.

This is just an amazing tale, which goes thru several generations of one family. Iggulden writes so descriptively, While I was listening I could see myself there. The author must have spent time in Mongolia to know all the fascinating customs. How the warriors made their bows, prepared traditional meals, customs of courting, and marriage. It is a joy to listen to.

Riviting

excellent story and well told and written. I had read the book but enjoyed the audible version very much.

Ghenghis is a bad dude! Amazing story!

I enjoyed everything about this story, such an interesting and iconic Man this was, I look forward to the book, Book 2

Excellent book and reader

I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Mr. Iggulden is an excellent writer. He brings Genghis, the Mongols, and their time vividly alive. The novel is both entertaining and enlightening. I'll definitely continue with the next in the series. Five stars, kudos, and appreciation to the author.

Great story and characters

This was a great book, a very strong story and excellent narration. There was good character development and a strong likable protagonist, i can’t say how accurate the history is but it’s a great adventure and I highly recommend it.
