Revue de presse :
An exotic saga with the tang of drama in every voyage, The Spice Route transports the reader from the dawn of history to the ends of the earth
The Spice Route is one of history's great anomalies. Shrouded in mystery, it existed long before anyone knew of its extent or alignment. Spices came from lands unseen, possibly uninhabitable, and almost by definition unattainable; that was what made them so desirable. Yet more livelihoods depended on this pungent traffic, more nations participated in it, more wars were fought over it, and more discoveries resulted from it than from any other global exchange.
In a bid to discover and exploit the spice route, mankind first passed beyond his known horizons to probe the limits of our planet. Epic was the quest, and in this major new study, epic is the treatment as John Keay pieces together a historical process that spans three millennia and a geographical progression that encircles the world.
An enthralling and erudite history of the spice trade (Traveller)
A typically droll and beautifully wrought book (Literary Review)
A springy, fresh feel...The Spice Route is what happens when you match a writer at the top of his form with a fashionable subject...The result is tremendous. (Literary Review-Nick Smith)
Absorbing (Scotsman)
A delightful, scholarly and thoroughly readable account (Geographical)
Serves up a feast of detail on a fascinating and little-known subject (Sunday Telegraph)
Its digressiveness is also a boon, allowing Keay to touch on everything (FT MAgazine)
Keay more sharply than romantically points up the economic basis of historic trade wars over three millenia. (The Times)
Fascinating new history (Daily Telegraph)
'Keay's retelling of the tale is restrained yet powerful, his choice of facts compelling' (Guardian)
