A new documentary-biographical narrative about Tamerlane allows you to hear the living voices of his era, which recreate a collective portrait of one of the greatest conquerors in human history, the wise ruler and legislator Tamerlane. The book is based on the evidence of his contemporaries - Mongolian, Persian, Arabic, Russian, Armenian, Georgian, Western European sources of the 13th-15th centuries, and, of course, complementary to each other, his “Autobiography” and “Code”, i.e. priority is given to the history of facts, events, incidents in the life of Tamerlane and his era. Thanks to the testimony of contemporaries, as well as first-hand information about the most important events in Tamerlane’s life, readers will see the living and majestic appearance of our Hero; the reader will learn how his worldview was formed, what he looked like, what he thought, what trials befell him and how courageously he overcame them, what motivated him when making vital and sometimes fateful decisions, what his code of honor was in relation to friends and comrades, as well as temporary companions and sworn enemies, as he came to understand his life path and higher purpose. This book brings us, people of the 21st century, closer to the living Tamerlane, helps to get rid of stereotypical ideas about him as “mad,” “godless and evil,” “robber, and rapist, and robber,” and create for each reader his own, neither exaggerated nor understated, a new insight into his controversial personality and human reputation.
