The Silk Roads served as a vital network linking the East and the West, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and religious beliefs. For centuries, these trade routes and the cities and communities along them have intrigued and inspired travelers and explorers. They have also influenced numerous literary works. In this session, we will select a novel from several captivating stories, each set in a different city along the historic Silk Roads.
