My mother was born and raised in China by her American missionary parents. Throughout my childhood growing up in Michigan, my mother and my grandfather told my brother and me stories about their life in the Orient. My grandfather was a superb storyteller and I was always fascinated by his descriptions of the Chinses people and their culture. Later I would live in both Korea and Japan, adding to my interest in the Far East. Each of these fictional short stories is anchored in Chinese and Japanese history and, in some part, on my firsthand experiences and those of my mother and grandparents.

Between the 2nd century BCE and the mid-15th century, an intricate web of commercial paths known as the Silk Road spanned Eurasia. This extensive network facilitated a dynamic exchange of commerce, culture, politics, and religion between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, covering a vast distance of over 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles). Some contemporary historians advocate for the term "Silk Routes" instead of "Silk Road" to more accurately reflect the complex interconnections of land and sea routes linking East and Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the Middle East, East Africa, and Europe. The name "Silk Road" originates from the lucrative trade in silk fabrics, primarily produced in China. Its origins trace back to approximately 114 BCE when the Han dynasty expanded into Central Asia, thereby stabilizing the previously turbulent region. Imperial envoy Zhang Qian embarked on exploratory missions beyond the territory to seek potential trading partners and establish diplomatic relations. These ventures spurred Chinese interest, leading to formalized diplomatic ties, commercial exchanges, and efforts to safeguard the routes through military presence and extensions of the Great Wall.

"In this long-awaited second edition, Susan Whitfield expands her trailblazing exploration of the Silk Road and broadens her rich and varied portrait of life along the great premodern trade routes of Eurasia. This new edition is comprehensively updated to support further understanding of themes relevant to global and comparative history. In the first 1,000 years after Christ, merchants, missionaries, monks, mendicants, and military men traveled on the vast network of Central Asian tracks that became known as the Silk Road. Whitfield recounts the lives of twelve individuals who lived at different times during this period, including two new characters: an African shipmaster and a Persian traveler and writer during the Arab caliphate. With these additional tales, Whitfield extends both geographical and chronological scope, bringing into view the maritime links across the Indian Ocean and depicting the network of north-south routes from the Baltic to the Gulf. Throughout the narrative, Whitfield conveys a strong sense of what life was like for ordinary men and women on the Silk Road, the individuals usually forgotten to history. A work of great scholarship, Life along the Silk Road continues to be extremely accessible and entertaining"--Provided by publisher.

There was never one Silk Road - but several. The route chosen by Colin Thubron passes through China, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey, taking in the most sterile desert on earth and the strife-torn mountain valleys of today's conflicts. Travelling from the tomb of the Yellow Emperor to the ancient port of Antioch, by local bus, truck, car, Land Rover, horse or camel, he covers seven-thousand miles in eight months, and confesses that it is the most difficult, complex and ambitious journey he has undertaken in forty years of travel.

The Silk Road, which linked imperial Rome and distant China, was once the greatest thoroughfare on earth. Along it travelled precious cargoes of silk, gold and ivory, as well as revolutionary new ideas. Its oasis towns blossomed into thriving centres of Buddhist art and learning. In time it began to decline. The traffic slowed, the merchants left and finally its towns vanished beneath the desert sands to be forgotten for a thousand years. But legends grew up of lost cities filled with treasures and guarded by demons. In the early years of the last century foreign explorers began to investigate these legends, and very soon an international race began for the art treasures of the Silk Road. Huge wall paintings, sculptures and priceless manuscripts were carried away, literally by the ton, and are today scattered through the museums of a dozen countries. Peter Hopkirk tells the story of the intrepid men who, at great personal risk, led these long-range archaeological raids, incurring the undying wrath of the Chinese.
