Wild East - Jill Lawless
Travels in the New Mongolia
KORTE INHOUD
For most of us, the name Mongolia conjures up exotic images of wild horsemen, endless grasslands, and nomads - a timeless and mysterious land that is also, in many ways, one that time forgot. Under Ghengis Khan, the Mongols' empire stretched across Asia and into the heart of Europe. But over the centuries Mongolia disappeared from the world's consciousness, over-shadowed and dominated by its huge neighbours - first China, which ruled Mongolia for centuries, then Russia, which transformed the feudal nation into the world's second communist state.
Jill Lawless arrived in Mongolia in the 1990s to find a country waking from centuries if isolation, at once discovering its heritage as a nomadic and Buddhist society and discovering the western world.
