Russell Fraser follows the ancient Silk Road wherever possible. For centuries the Silk Road was the primary commercial link between Europe and Asia, with much of it over desert sands and accessible only by camel. Building on history and personal experience, Fraser's narrative describes this vast territory with an eye to geography, artistic culture, and religion over more than two thousand years. The book that he gives us depends first of all on travel, but the author's eye is on an interior landscape, and he focuses on the influence of religious ideology on the cultural landscape of Central Asia. Delving deeply into art and architecture, he takes them to be Islam's most significant creative expressions. Although Islam is currently the predominant religion in the region, the book also examines the two other belief systems with modern-day followers--Christianity and an antireligious sect Fraser calls secular progressivism. His aim is to present Islam to Western readers by describing its achievements during the High Middle Ages and comparing and contrasting them with those of modern Islam. The book offers insights into the history of a major world religion through the eyes of a well-known literary scholar on a journey through exotic parts of the world. He steeps us in the latter, inviting the reader to share the journey with him and participate in the sensations it gives rise to"--Provided by publisher.Asia, CentralDescription and travelIslamic countriesDescription and travelElectronic books.915.804/43Fraser Russell A695531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453416303321Sojourner in Islamic lands1929483UNINA00984nam0 22002531i 450 UON0042803020231205104855.42020130628d1939 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| 1||||Du contrat social, ou principes du droit politiquelettre a M. d'Alembert sur les Spectacles/ Jean-Jacques RousseauParisFlammarionstampa 1939313 p.18 cm.FRParisUONL002984846Letteratura francese.
