About this product

Product Information

For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world. This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

    Gripping from the start!

    If you want a concise, enlightened, and researched book on the Silk Road and what it means for the current moment then, without doubt, this is the book for you. Frankopan has such an engaging style, detailed and witty in places. Without doubt this book has opened my eyes to the Silk Road, it’s history, it’s cultural,intellectual and social impact on the world then and today.

    The Silk Road….A book to hang on to, and keep dipping into.

    It’s one of those books that tells you everything you need to know without being boring. It has generous illustrations and follows along quite smoothly without constantly having to refer back to previous sections.
