Zusatztext "Splendid?Sumptuously detailed! elegantly written and riveting...Thubron misses nothing." Informationen zum Autor Colin Thubron  is an acclaimed travel writer and novelist. His first books were about the Middle East – Damascus, Lebanon and Cyprus. In 1982 he travelled by car into the Soviet Union, a journey he described in  Among the Russians .

He was elected President of the Royal Society of Literature from 2010 to 2017, and named an RSL Companion of Literature in 2020. Klappentext To travel the Silk Road, the greatest land route on earth, is to trace the passage not only of trade and armies but also of ideas, religions, and inventions. Making his way by local bus, truck, car, donkey cart, and camel, Colin Thubron covered some seven thousand miles in eight months—out of the heart of China into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and the plains of Iran into Kurdish Turkey—and explored an ancient world in modern ferment.
