Iggulden conqueror series6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() (Genghis’ wife is raped at around the time of Joshi’s conception). Unsure if Joshi is his own blood, Genghis never completely accepts him. The series’ subplot – Genghis’ relationship with his son Joshi – is a tragedy often played out in the lives of great men. ![]() From a childhood of loss and hardship emerges the man who will conquer the world. We walk alongside him while he establishes himself as the supreme leader of all who encounter him – starting with his own brothers. Iggulden immerses us into the life of a Mongol boy navigating a brutal cultural and natural environment. When pondering character development or the influence of setting on psyche, this book often comes to mind. Wolf of The Plains is by far the most memorable. It has been several years since I read these stories but sometimes distance strengthens impressions. I do hope to catch up with the last one: Conqueror. As you can see from the image, I have four of the five books in this series. ![]()
