Night Train to Turkistan: Modern Adventures Along China's Ancient Silk Road

by Stuart Stevens

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 1988
  • PAPER
  • 239 PAGES

An entertaining account of travels with three friends (including Mark Salzman) from Beijing to Kashgar following the route of Peter Fleming and his classic News from Tartary. More fed up with bureaucracy than enchanted by ancient sites, Stevens' travels include visits to Dunhuang, Turpan, and Kashgar.  (CAS77, $13.00)
