Colin
Thubron, distinguished journalist, travel writer and novelist, opens this
year's Penn Humanities Forum on Travel. "My travel books spring from
curiosity about worlds my generation has found threatening: China, Russia,
Islam (and perhaps from a desire to humanize and understand them)."
Mr. Thubron describes the journey he took along the ancient trade route
from China through Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran to the Mediterranean,
which led to his newest book, Shadow of the Silk Road. Prior to the lecture,
held in conjunction with Penn Museum, see archival images from expeditions
to the Silk Road on special display at the Museum.
