Description
Timur Khan--to give Tamburlaine his original name--was long perceived in the west as a ruthless conqueror. Christopher Marlowe's play, TAMBURLAINE THE GREAT, achieved great success on the Elizabethan stage. However, four centuries later, we have seen the vindication of the great Khan--who is revered as a heroic figure in the newly liberated from the USSR state of Uzbekistan.
