Silk Road Thoughts
A lot of historical information. Very interesting for researchers. But the question is how to translate this into literary form?
For example, it's too much to dwell on the description of clothes, houses, culture and life, if you don't return to them again, it's a waste of time. And also empty information. If in the first chapter there is a description of the house, then you need to return to it at least in chapter 10. Otherwise, why write about this at all?
And so the historical facts on the Silk Road are fascinating for an explorer, but for a reader of artistic works this may seem boring.
There is no usual magic, heroic deeds ... there is a gray reality, murder, deceit, betrayal, a big game.
Attempts to control the Silk Road, the Golden Path, the Fur Path, the Porcelain Path ... and how many such paths were there?
Over the past 50 centuries there have been many paths, roads, caravan routes.
And they naturally led somewhere ... connected some cities with others, countries with countries and even continents ...
Asia with Africa and Europe, and possibly the New World ... this is a very interesting topic. Another thing is that you need a good writer, not an author ... who would be able to present in all its glory, brilliance, dazzling and, all the amazingness of the Silk Road.
It is interesting why those who are engaged in the professional study of the Silk Road, for some reason, are not particularly eager to popularize their knowledge about it. Everything is silent and silent. This is a huge omission !!!!
But why is it so and not otherwise ...
The Silk Road, it is also a transfer of goods, culture, cooking, philosophy, science, medicine, military technology, etc.
The period spanning from the 4th century BC. and until the beginning of the 15th century AD.
The period when the East, asked Fashion for the rest of the world !!!
In the meantime, the author cannot reveal all the wealth and brilliance of the Silk Road, although he has more than enough materials.
Here you need to be able to write! For now it turns out dryly ...
Well, there is little hope that this topic will seem promising to someone and he will be able to write a new novel on the Silk Road topic. Altruism? And he is needed! Otherwise, the world would not develop ... It is stupid to be greedy and not give thought to the exit in the hope of selling it ... it's like a dog in the hay ... it's not good! For development! And at least someone will come in handy ... and good for the soul ...
Do good deeds and throw them into the water, people will not know, but the fish will know.
There is a lot of wisdom in this, Eastern is!
In general, while I'm stuck with the "Magic Coin." Although there are thoughts, maybe you can write one chapter this week ?!
