What is Asia Overland: Tales of Travel on the Trans-Siberian & Silk Road (Odyssey Guides) about?

<p>What was it really like to travel the iron rails of the Trans-Siberian Railway in its early years, the dusty, parched tracks of the Silk Road in its heyday, or the rugged, dangerous mountain passes into and out of the Indian subcontinent? Eurasia’s great land routes, offspring of the ambition of Russian tsars, Chinese emperors and Mughal khans, have served human history well, acting as conduits for trade, religion and cultural conventions, and as avenues down which conquering armies and commercial pioneers swarmed in the forging of empires.</p> <p>With wit and humor, Omrani weaves a tapestry of tales and reports by a panoply of travelers down the centuries, taking the reader on an exciting journey that crosses continents and spans epochs. Richly embellished with stunning photography, detailed maps and fascinating archival illustrations, <b>Asia Overland</b> is a compelling piece of travel literature that will appeal to both modern-day explorers and armchair travelers alike.<br> </p> <ul> <li class="null1"><br> </li> <li>Travel companion and historical travelogue<br> </li> <li class="null1"><br> </li> <li>Resourced from travel luminaries: from George Kennan to Anton Chekhov, Fa X
