«Le Loup bleu» is the historical novel by Yasushi Inoue about Genghis Khan, published by Philippe Picquier in paperback (270 pages, in French).
The novel recreates the life of Genghis Khan, from his birth in 1162 to forging the Mongol Empire. Inoue explores the warlord's obsession with his ancestry: he did not know whether he descended from the blue wolf, mythical progenitor of the Mongols, or was the son of a Merkit, and that doubt drove his conquests and marked his eldest son, Jochi.
Work originally published in Japanese in 1959 under the title «Aoki Ōkami»; the French translation is by Dominique Palme and Kyoko Sato.
For readers of historical fiction and Japanese literature, especially those seeking an intimate approach to the figure of Genghis Khan.
Yasushi Inoue was a Japanese writer of novels, short stories, poetry and essays, noted for his historical and autobiographical fiction. His most acclaimed works include The Bullfight, The Roof Tile of Tempyō and Tun-huang.
