Omichik inherits the French literary tradition of exploring history and human nature. His masterful writing blends extensive historical facts with detailed descriptions of Mongolian customs, beliefs, and mythology, earning unanimous praise from both Western historians and literary critics.
Unlike most books on Genghis Khan available in the market, this one may emphasize the legendary life of Bortuk to tell the story of Genghis Khan. Through Bortuk's perspective, readers can understand the author's view of Genghis Khan, which can be seen as a Westerner's perspective on the Eastern conqueror. Moreover, the author's deep love for Mongolian culture is particularly evident when Bortuk eventually grows weary of the bloodshed, revealing the author's critical stance on war and Genghis Khan's relentless conquests.
Most books on the Mongols in the market are written by admirers of Genghis Khan. In contrast, this book presents the main characters, Bortuk and Genghis Khan, in a more humanized manner, continuing the French tradition of exploring human nature.
