An adventurous explorer of remote and far-flung regions, Colin Thubron is one of the greatest travel writers working today. Combining astute observation with a deep historical awareness, his writing is both captivating and profound.

After a lifetime exploring Asia, Thubron has turned his attention to the Silk Road - the first great trade route out of the heart of China. Travelling 7000 miles in eight months he recounts extraordinary adventures through the mountains of Central Asia and across Afghanistan, Iraq and Turkey. To travel the Silk Road, he writes, is to travel the history of the world: tracing the passage not just of trade and armies, but of ideas, religions and inventions.

Join Colin Thubron as he discusses the thrill of travel and why this was the most difficult expedition he has undertaken in 40 years.
