A

The Best Books on Central Asia and the Silk Road Region

News from Tartary

Peter Fleming traveled from Beijing to Kashmir overland in 1935. The adventurous journey, at first seemingly impossible, took 7 months, and was related by Fleming with great wit and intelligence. Even though it does not touch on any specific country, it gives a real sense of how the Silk Road was at one point, before modernity arrived.

The Way of the World

In 1953, twenty-four-year old Nicolas Bouvier and his artist friend Thierry Vernet set out to make their way overland from their native Geneva to the Khyber Pass. They had an old car and a little money. The Way of the World, which stands out for its philosophical reflections on culture, identity, and the nature of travel itself, records those journeys in vivid descriptions.

Red sands

Whereas Samarkand is a recipe book with some travel stories mixed in, Red sands, which was published in 2020, turns the recipe around. Like in her previous book, Black Sea, Caroline Eden uses food as a jumping off point to investigate life in Central Asia, It is an angle no one else has taken and the recipes in the book offer a delicious way to explore the rich reality of the region

Eurasia Overland

Not a book, rather a travel blog, this is the best contemporary account of travel across Eurasia. Starting in 2015, Daniel Sprague spent 5 years driving his car independently across Eurasia, visiting pretty much every place in between Kiev and Dhaka. His travel style is adventurous, his opinions informed, his writing cool and balanced, offering a very clear and realistic picture of what travel in Eurasia is like these days.

1. When did Peter Fleming start his adventure to Kashmir?

A. In 1935. B. In 1953. C. In 2015. D. In 2020.

2. What can be known about Red Sands and Black Sea?

A. They were published in 2020. B. They are classic recipe books.

C. They are typical travel journals. D. They are written by the same author.
