The Silk Roads: A New History of the World by Peter Frankopan

$25.00 NZD

Category: History

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 were to be found in the west - in the New World of the Amer icas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of riches and adventure.

A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is a dazzling exploration of the forces that have driven the rise and fall of empires, determined the flow of ideas and goods and are now heralding a new dawn in international affairs. ...Show more
