Between these covers, the millennia of mercantile and cultural exchange along the Silk Route are celebrated by travellers and writers from Marco Polo to Sven Hedin, from William of Rubruck to Ella Maillart.

Kathleen Hopkirk has spent a lifetime researching this vital heartland, traversed by five inhospitable deserts but united by ancient chains of trading oases: from the Buddhist Empire of Kushan to the scholarly Islamic centre at Bukhara.

Central Asia brings this rich history to life, offering a glimpse into the past and the myriad influences that have shaped this remarkable region over the centuries.
