Shadow of the Silk Road records a journey along the greatest land route on earth. Out of the heart of China into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and the plains of Iran and into Kurdish Turkey, Colin Thubron covers some seven thousand miles in eight months. Making his way by local bus, truck, car, donkey cart and camel, he travels from the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, the mythic progenitor of the Chinese people, to the ancient port of Antioch—in perhaps the most difficult and ambitious journey he has undertaken in forty years of travel. The Silk Road is a huge network of arteries splitting and converging across the breadth of Asia. To travel it is to trace the passage not only of trade and armies but also of ideas, religions and inventions. But alongside this rich and astonishing past, Shadow of the Silk Road is also about Asia today: a continent of upheaval. One of the trademarks of Colin Thubron's travel writing is the beauty of his prose; another is his gift for talking to people and getting them to talk to him. Shadow of the Silk Road encounters Islamic countries in many forms. It is about changes in China, transformed since the Cultural Revolution. It is about false nationalisms and the world's discontented margins, where the true boundaries are not political borders but the frontiers of tribe, ethnicity, language and religion. It is a magnificent and important account of an ancient world in modern ferment.

評分典型的報紙文,沒有深度,盡是寫旅行路上遇到的人,但沒有一個主題。。。看在作者很喜歡中國的態度上不給一星

評分此书有个节选本,是搭在旅游书上做赠品的,两年前圣诞节时节在书店,固执只要买这个赠品,结果书店将这个书送给我做礼物。 今年冬末,巴黎大雪纷飞,在家养病之余才拿出来读。 丝绸之路的迷人之处是要穿过一片难以了解的地区,中国的商人和欧洲的商人都不能从起点到重点,中间...
