Life along the Silk Road di Susan Whitfield

An interesting approach to describing life along the Silk Road via fictionalized accounts of different personages: a soldier, a merchant, a courtesan, etc. The book is interesting and filled with minutiae of life and history that the author has gleaned from various period sources. I found its coverage a bit lopsided towards the Chinese end of the road. There is discussion about Central Asia's and Tibet's role in Silk Road history as well, but mainly in the beginning, and there's not enough discussion of what occurred later in the Central Asian region as it began to be influenced more and more by Islam.… (altro)
This book was produced in conjuction with an exhibit at the British Library. The book is well illustrated. Presenting manuscripts, paintings and artifacts as it explores both religious and secular themes and the various languages and cultures of the Silk Road. It is an excellent overview of the many aspects of the Silk Road.
