Beschreibung
A monk's footprint on a mountain pass carried more weight than any imperial seal.
The most valuable things carried along the Silk Road left no trace in any merchant's ledger. Religious texts, philosophical systems, artistic techniques, and scientific knowledge moved along the same routes as silk and spices, but their impact proved far more enduring. This book focuses on the human carriers of culture—the monks, pilgrims, translators, and artists who traveled vast distances not for profit but for understanding.
