Rezensionen
An outstanding new account of ancient India's cultural conquest of the globe . The Golden Road is an absorbingly literary history, a tale of tales ... Xi Jinping's China is currently much better at promoting itself as the heart of Asia. But it may ultimately prove no match for India's primordial gift for myth and narrative, and this is what Dalrymple has so successfully channelled into The Golden Road. The plot, especially for South Asians, may be an old one, but it's the most compelling retelling we have had for generations Financial Times
