THE REPRESENTATION OF THE IMAGE OF AMIR TIMUR (TAMERLANE) IN CONTEMPORARY WESTERN LITERATURE
Keywords:
Western literature, cultural impact, multifaceted nature, charisma, architectural heritage, socio-political environmentAbstract
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.
