The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east.
For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture - and is shaping the modern world.
This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won - and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again.
A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

开头挺好，学习了好多中东古地名。读到后面五百多页一直水准在线，就是真的好啰嗦，特别是一战之后的章节。

真的很大一本啊，这个出版社还出了两本类似拍版的作品，中文还没有翻译出来，都很不错。

读了三个半礼拜，500页巨著，虽然很多时候不知道作者在说的是哪里的什么人，但能把几千年的历史从中亚为中心的角度串起来，还是相当有趣相当有颠覆性的。怎么说，有些章节内容相对熟悉，但作者给出的解读是老生常谈+耳目一新；当然更多的是不了解的历史，补了补历史也拓宽了下视野。核心是贸易，结局章节对现在新权贵的生活状态描述（炫富什么的），读起来让人意识到，其实哪个年代又不是呢？推荐！忍住读下去，哈哈！

本该是东西方交流融合的象征，实际是野心和冲突的历史，几乎2/3的篇幅都是沿线的战争。作为中国读者，有悖教育的点：丝绸之路的核心是管道本身，即中亚和中东，而非起点或终点；以及即便是我们自诩万国来朝的盛唐，相比同时期阿拉伯帝国的繁荣，可能也不过尔尔。当然，最精彩的部分还是1950s之后美国在中东接二连三的骚操作，国家利益真是个任人打扮的姑娘。

细读地域史之前靠这部作个基础全面的了解也挺不错。哈哈把安禄山说成是栗特人也不是特别严谨；中世纪时期穆斯林比基督欧洲更重视科学发明的说法倒是有趣，但“科学被信仰阻断”就很whiggish了。果然视角能影响对历史的解读。

俯看整个亚欧大陆的视角，经不得放大但足够生动的一张图。
