Довольно сильное произведение. Интересный взгляд в процессы и мысли эпохи. Как работает процесс прихода к власти. Почему политика - «грязное дело». Простым языком, но эмоционально сложно. Прочитал, так как советовал в своей книге Веллер. С первых абзацев был готов отбросить, но дальше события показали интересный процесс в жизни одного «диктатора».

Супер сильна історична проза про середньовічний схід написана від лиця мамелюка. Рівень жорстокості і закону сили просто зашкалює. Мене дуже вразила.
