Description
The Silk Road: A Living History invites you to take a journey from London to Beijing, encountering some of the people, places and cultures in-between. This unique collection celebrates the diversity found along this route, explores how historical customs live on today, and reveals connections between what appear at first glance to be very different cultures. Ultimately, the book aims to help build bridges of interest and understanding between distant places and challenge perceptions of les well-known or understood parts of the world. Of course it reflects only a fraction of the realities of these places. It is one of an infinite number of stories that could be told.
