A seven-thousand-mile journey along the Silk Road
Colin Thubron’s travel narrative follows an eight-month overland passage along the Silk Road, from central China through the mountains of Central Asia, northern Afghanistan, Iran, and Kurdish Turkey. Traveling by a changing patchwork of local transport—including buses, trucks, donkey carts, and camels—he traces a route shaped by commerce, conquest, migration of ideas, religious exchange, and invention. The book places this long historical corridor alongside the modern changes encountered across its landscapes and communities, using the journey’s geography to connect past movement with a region in flux.
