Download or read book Shadow of the Silk Road written by Colin Thubron and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadow of the Silk Road records a journey along the greatest land route on earth. Out of the heart of China into the mountains of Central Asia, across northern Afghanistan and the plains of Iran and into Kurdish Turkey, Colin Thubron covers some seven thousand miles in eight months. Making his way by local bus, truck, car, donkey cart and camel, he travels from the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, the mythic progenitor of the Chinese people, to the ancient port of Antioch—in perhaps the most difficult and ambitious journey he has undertaken in forty years of travel. The Silk Road is a huge network of arteries splitting and converging across the breadth of Asia. To travel it is to trace the passage not only of trade and armies but also of ideas, religions and inventions. But alongside this rich and astonishing past, Shadow of the Silk Road is also about Asia today: a continent of upheaval. One of the trademarks of Colin Thubron's travel writing is the beauty of his prose; another is his gift for talking to people and getting them to talk to him. Shadow of the Silk Road encounters Islamic countries in many forms. It is about changes in China, transformed since the Cultural Revolution. It is about false nationalisms and the world's discontented margins, where the true boundaries are not political borders but the frontiers of tribe, ethnicity, language and religion. It is a magnificent and important account of an ancient world in modern ferment.

Book excerpt: In the heart of modern-day London, where the prestigious art world intersects with the city's shadowy underworld, renowned detective Eleanor "Ellie" Sinclair and her partner, Inspector Daniel "Danny" Morgan, find themselves drawn into a tangled web of mystery and obsession. A series of daring art thefts have left the city's elite collectors reeling, and the crimes are so meticulously executed that they seem to defy all logic. As Ellie and Danny delve deeper into the investigation, a pattern emerges – the stolen masterpieces are all connected to Julian Marlowe, a enigmatic artist from the early 20th century whose works have been lost to time for decades. Whispers abound that these pilfered paintings hold the key to locating Marlowe's greatest and most infamous creation, the cursed masterpiece known as "The Shadow in the Frame." This haunting work of art was said to drive its viewers to the brink of madness before vanishing into thin air, much like its creator, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances long ago. Enter Sebastian Grey, a charming and elusive art thief whose very existence seems to taunt Ellie and Danny at every turn. But Sebastian is no ordinary criminal – he is an aficionado with a profound knowledge of art history and an insatiable hunger for the thrill of the chase. His daring heists are not motivated by greed or fame, but by a personal mission to uncover the truth about Marlowe and his final, enigmatic work. As the detectives pursue Sebastian through a labyrinth of clues hidden within the stolen paintings, they find themselves navigating the treacherous waters of the art world, where corrupt dealers, obsessive collectors, and deadly rivals lurk in every shadow. The lines between hunter and prey blur, and Sebastian becomes an unlikely ally as they confront a far more formidable foe – a powerful secret society determined to keep Marlowe's final work, and its dark secrets, buried forever.
