Shadow of the Silk Road by Colin Thubron
Publisher: Vintage Books (October 23, 2007) | ISBN-10: 0099437228 | PDF | 2 Mb | 384 pages
In his latest absorbing travel epic, Thubron (In Siberia; Mirror to Damascus) follows the courseor at least the general driftof the ancient network of trade routes that connected central China with the Mediterranean Coast, traversing along the way several former Soviet republics, war-torn Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey. The author travels third-class all the way, in crowded, stifling railroad cars and rattle-trap buses and cars, staying at crummy inns or farmers' houses, subject to shakedowns by border guards and constant harassmenteven quarantineby health officials hunting the SARS virus. Physically, these often monotonously arid, hilly regions of Central Asia tend to go by in a swirl of dun-colored landscapes studded with Buddha shrines in varying states of repair or ruin, but Thubron's poetic eye still teases out gorgeous subtleties in the panorama. Certain themes also color his offbeat encounters with localsmost of them want to get the hell out of Central Asiabut again he susses out the infinite variety of ordinary misery. The conduit by which an entire continent exchanged its commodities, cultures and peoplesThubron finds traces of Roman legionaries and mummies of Celtic tribesmen in western Chinathe Silk Road becomes for him an evocative metaphor for the mingling of experiences and influences that is the essence of travel.

Samuel Willard Crompton “Pakistan (Modern World Nations)"
2002-07 | ISBN: 0791070980 | 112 pages | PDF | 3,7 Mb
Pakistan is one of the world’s most strategically located countries. Sharing borders with India to the east and south, China to the northeast, Afghanistan to the north and west, and Iran to the west, Pakistan sits at one of the great crossroads of history.
Many conquerors and would-be conquerors have traveled through this land, andmany an army has struggled through the mountains of Pakistan and delighted in the open floodplains of the Indus River. But no one conqueror has ever fully gained control over Pakistan. This can be attributed in part to the country’s diverse lands and peoples but also to the large number of foreign conquerors who have struggled to gain ascendancy.
