Publisher's Synopsis
Revolt of the Tartars: Or Flight of the Kalmuck Khan is a historical account written by Thomas De Quincey and published in 1896. The book tells the story of the Kalmuck Khan and his people, who were a nomadic tribe living in the Russian Empire during the 18th century. The Kalmucks were forced to leave their homeland and migrate to a new location by the Russian government, which caused great unrest among the tribe. Eventually, the Kalmucks rebelled against their oppressors and launched a violent revolt, which is described in detail in the book. The author provides a vivid portrayal of the Kalmuck culture and way of life, as well as their struggles and hardships during their migration and revolt. The book is a fascinating historical account of a little-known event in Russian history, and provides a unique perspective on the clash between nomadic tribes and empires.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
