Voices from the Silk Road: Poetry Along Ancient Trade Routes - E-book - ePub

This book explores the vast Central Asian steppes, an expanse of rolling grasslands stretching from the Danube River in the west to the borders of China in the east, that have borne witness to the nomadic lifestyles of diverse tribes and cultures for millennia. In this vast and dynamic landscape, poetic expressions emerged as a reflection of the nomadic way of life, capturing the essence of the steppe's beauty, challenges, and the nomads' deep connection to nature, trade, and their unique social structures.
