1. Shadow of the Silk Road (P.S.) Shadow of the Silk Road (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
Thubron's prose seems tired compared to some of his earlier writing, almost as if he's forcing himself to write well. On occasion, it results in prose on the darker end of purple, very stilted to a modern ear (or at least to my ear). My larger criticism has to do with the lenses through which he... more info

2. The Travels of Marco Polo: Edited by Peter Harris (Everyman s Library (Cloth)) The Travels of Marco Polo: Edited by Peter Harris (Everyman's Library (Cloth))
from Everyman's Library
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
Marco writes well enough of his travels and you feel that you are there. You can actually follow the trail if you have a map. He describes the flora and fauna of each region and describes the economics and industry of the region.
Example: "The women of the superior class are in like manner free... more info

3. The Lost Heart of Asia (P.S.) The Lost Heart of Asia (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I had been wanting for a while to learn something about Central Asia. It is possibly the only large region of the world that I know nothing about, have never read anything about, never met anyone from, never visited. This book was not a disappointment - a very educational read that has its moments... more info

4. In Siberia In Siberia
from Harper Perennial
Price: $14.65

Customer Review:
Colin Thubron takes you right into Siberia with him. And with him, you can experience the hardships and the love of the land that these people face. This is not a tourist book. It is a book about people, interwoven with geographic fact.

7. Distance Distance
from Vintage Books

Customer Review:
"Distance" is what one would call a spellbinding suspense whodunit where almost everyone in the book knows all the answers and the end, except for you (the reader) and the protagonist/narrator. The latter has lost two years of his recent memory. Things have happened that affect him profoundly -- but... more info

8. [no image] Fairies and Elves (Enchanted World)
from Time Life Education

Customer Review:
This book is one in Time Life Books' The Enchanted World series. Each of these books covers a different aspect of folklore and mythology, and they are an excellent set. They tell stories in a similar format and complement each other well without repeating the content. Each is about 140 pages.more info

9. [no image] Behind the Wall: A Journey Through China
from Harpercollins

Customer Review:
This book is a record of a long journey the author took through China in the mid-1980s. Before embarking, Thubron took an intensive course in Mandarin back in his native England. This enabled him to converse with the people he met he met on his trip without having to resort to translators or... more info

10. [no image] Journey into Cyprus
from Atlantic Monthly Pr

Customer Review:
Colin Thubron weaves the history and present of each site he visits into prose that borders on poetry. "Journey into Cypress" takes you as close to Cypress as language can.
