«La sombra de la ruta de la seda» is a travel narrative by Colin Thubron, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Thubron travels over eleven thousand miles in eight months, from China to Antioch, through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkish Kurdistan. The book combines the legacy of the Silk Road: goods, ideas, religions and inventions, with the reality of a continent shaken by tribal, ethnic, linguistic and religious divisions.
Translation by José Luis Delgado Pérez. Original work: «Shadow of the Silk Road» (2007). Travel collection.
For readers of travel literature and non-fiction interested in Asia, its history and its present.
