Silk Roads

Global interconnectedness reimagined through ancient trade routes.

If you're intrigued by how history shapes the present, "Silk Roads" will offer a profound perspective. It moves beyond the typical Western focus, providing insights into the evolving dynamics of Eastern and Western connections as they've developed from historical trade routes. Peter Frankopan delivers a reflective, contemporary analysis that challenges readers to reconsider their global position and the interwoven nature of our modern world. This could be a compelling read if you're ready to think deeply about our interconnected histories and futures.

Description

The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
