Overhead view of a paperback book and an e-reader Kindle lying on a soft, slightly wrinkled beige bedsheet. Those two are the book of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford.
A block of several lines in the middle of the page is highlighted in light turquoise, drawing attention to a passage describing how steppe nomads greet each other by sniffing rather than hugging or kissing, and how scent carries deep emotional meaning—from the affectionate sniff between parent and child to the intimate sniff between lovers, with each person’s breath and unique body smell seen as part of their soul.
This is explained in the book Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford.
It is often said that history, when told in a captivating way, can be more dramatic than any fictional TV show you can think of.
Saking sukanya, aku punya dua versi Kindle dan buku fisik, biar lebih flexible kemana-mana aku bisa aku bawa 😆
