About this product

Product Information

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * Far more than a history of the Silk Roads, this book is truly a revelatory new history of the world, promising to destabilize notions of where we come from and where we are headed next. "A rare book that makes you question your assumptions about the world." -- The Wall Street Journal From the Middle East and its political instability to China and its economic rise, the vast region stretching eastward from the Balkans across the steppe and South Asia has been thrust into the global spotlight in recent years. Frankopan teaches us that to understand what is at stake for the cities and nations built on these intricate trade routes, we must first understand their astounding pasts. Frankopan realigns our understanding of the world, pointing us eastward. It was on the Silk Roads that East and West first encountered each other through trade and conquest, leading to the spread of ideas, cultures and religions. From the rise and fall of empires to the spread of Buddhism and the advent of Christianity and Islam, right up to the great wars of the twentieth century--this book shows how the fate of the West has always been inextricably linked to the East. Also available: The New Silk Roads , a timely exploration of the dramatic and profound changes our world is undergoing right now--as seen from the perspective of the rising powers of the East.

  • Overly detailed and boring, but as close to true history as one can get.

    So detailed that it's basically boring with trivia. Nevertheless, one can learn that all religions (no exceptions) have arisen from human speculations, wonder, ignorance and/or fear. The the Great Crusades are analyzed and their real aims and results presented. The great voyages that led to the discovery of continents by Europeans, and the massive loss of populations due to the bubonic plague and smallpox are described. Literally hundreds of the misconceptions of historical events are exposed.

  • A non-western picture of civilization

    An absolutely fascinating history of the world from a very non-western view. I had heard of the Silk Road in grade school and was just able to visit a portion of it now by going to Uabekistan. I read this book in preparation for the trip but have started it again now that I've actually seen some of the places which profoundly affected the course of history. It is slow reading but fascinating and full of information not usually contained in a history book.
