Read more about the Silk Road in an amazing book by Eric Enno Tamm, The Horse That Leaps Through Clouds. Click on this link to see the book’s website. In 2006 Eric retraced Mannerheim’s route from St Petersburg, Russia to Beijing, China. The book skillfully weaves Mannerheim’s account, with the author’s journey a century later, and crafts a fascinating insight into modern day Russia, the “Stans” of Central Asia, and China. A complex, in-depth, and vivid literary preface to our October 2013 trip on the Silk Road!
