Colin Thurbon's beautiful prose unfolds along the Silk Road,
unearthing a richly layered past on his most ambitious journey. On
buses, donkey carts, trains, jeeps and camels, Colin Thubron traces
the drifts of the first great trade route out of the heart of China
into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and
the plains of Iran into Kurdish Turkey. A magnificent account of an
ancient world in modern ferment, Thubron covers over 7000 miles in
eight months enduring a near-miss with a drunk-driver,
incarceration in a Chinese cell, and undergoing root canal
treatment without anaesthetic, along the way. VINTAGE VOYAGES: A
world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the
mind
