In this fascinating work, travel literature master Colin Thubron invites us to traverse eleven thousand kilometers along the historic Silk Road. From Xi'an in China to Antioch, the author travels through diverse landscapes and ancient cultures using various means of transport, from trains to camels, to explore how this route was not only a commercial channel but also a bridge for the exchange of ideas, religions, and inventions. The book offers a deep and moving vision of an ancient world facing the transformations of the modern era, capturing the testimonies and realities of the regions he traverses.
