About the Author:

Colin Thubron is an acknowledged master of travel writing. His first books were about the Middle East Damascus, Lebanon, and Cyprus. In 1982 he traveled in the Soviet Union, pursued by the KGB. From these early experiences developed his great travel books on the landmass that makes up Russia and Asia: Among the Russians; Behind the Wall: A Journey through China; The Lost Heart of Asia; In Siberia; and most recently, Shadow of the Silk Road.

Colin Thubron is an award-winning novelist as well as, arguably, the most admired travel writer of our time. He lives in London.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Colin Thubron nous entraîne dans un extraordinaire voyage, celui de la Route de la Soie. Il part de Xian, au coeur de la Chine, où repose l'Empereur jaune, pour arriver à Antioche, au bord de la Méditerranée turque. Des deux itinéraires possibles qu'offre la Route de la Soie, il choisit le chemin le plus impraticable, celui qui longe le mortel désert du Taklamakan jusqu à Kashgar. Kirghizistan, Kazakhstan, Tadjikistan, Iran, Turquie, nombreux sont les pays que Colin Thubron a sillonnés pendant huit mois. Pages après pages, tout devient palpable : la chaleur implacable, la poussière, la sauvagerie, la désolation du désert, les oasis luxuriantes d'Asie centrale, l'air pur des montagnes et le fourmillement des villes. L'audace et l'endurance de ce baroudeur animent chaque page de ce récit. Son regard aiguisé de routard s'ajoute à une plume vive rythmée par les nombreuses rencontres faites au cours de son long périple. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (447 p.) - Poids : 605g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne Étonnants voyageurs. Seller Inventory # N9782842303181
