William Dalrymple’s
award-winning first book: his classic, fiercely intelligent and
wonderfully entertaining account of his journey across Marco Polo’s
700-year-old route from Jerusalem to Xanadu, the summer palace of Kubla
Khan.
At the age of twenty-two, Dalrymple left his college in
Cambridge to travel to the ruins of Kubla Khan’s stately pleasure dome
in Xanadu.
As he and his companions travel across the width of
Asia—crossing through Acre, Aleppo, Tabriz, Tashkurgan, and other
mysterious and sometimes hellish places—they encounter dusty, forgotten
roads, unexpected hospitality, and difficult challenges.
Stylish, witty,
and knowledgeable about everything from the dreaded order of Assassins
to the hidden origins of the Three Magi, this is travel writing at its
best.
