Place names such as Samarkand, Bukhara, Khotan and Chang'an continue to
fascinate with the richness of their past. In this authoritative book,
Luce Boulnois explores the encounter between East and West across the
vast continental expanse that separates the Mediterranean world from the
Chinese one. She unravels in a clear and compelling way the complex
threads that make up the history of these great overland trade routes,
which allowed the transmission across the world of ideas and beliefs,
techniques and works of art, helping to shape civilisations that
flourished along the way. How did the Romans, following in the footsteps
of the Greeks, discover these far-flung regions? What did the Chinese
know of the European world? How did they manage to keep the secret of
silk manufacture safe for centuries? Did Marco Polo really go to China,
or was he just a clever impostor?
