THE REPRESENTATION OF THE IMAGE OF AMIR TIMUR (TAMERLANE) IN CONTEMPORARY WESTERN LITERATURE
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article demonstrates how, in the 21st century, Amir Timur (Tamerlane) is depicted in Western literature as a complex and multifaceted figure. Contemporary works often examine the dual nature of his legacy - highlighting his military genius, his success in uniting vast territories, and his cultural impact, especially in transforming Samarkand into a hub of intellect and the arts. Modern authors frequently navigate this contradiction, portraying Timur as both an inspiring leader and a merciless conqueror. These portrayals reflect a larger trend in Western literature, where historical figures are viewed through a more nuanced perspective, recognizing both their accomplishments and the more troubling aspects of their actions.
