Features: "The Lament of the Great Khan" is full of suspense and highly engaging, serving as a probing book with significant academic value, also rich in prose style. Particularly in the chapter introductions interspersed with Persian-style verses, the chapters are both ancient and elegant, yet filled with a melancholic tone, evoking endless reflections from readers about the final fate of this "Emperor of All Humanity," "The Conqueror of the Ages," and "The Wolf of the Grasslands." To this day, legends of Genghis Khan still circulate in Asia and Eastern Europe: a bluish-gray wolf born under the divine mandate, letting out a thunderous howl that shakes the world. Yet, where did the wolf finally vanish? This book attempts to unravel this mystery. The author traveled across Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, peeling away layers of historical records to get closer to the truth. For the first time, this book reveals the search and behind-the-scenes of the Japanese Kashiwaba expedition team and the American Krawetz expedition team, as well as the discoveries of Chinese researchers on the Inner Mongolian grasslands and the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, thus unveiling the hidden face of this earth-shattering secret.
