Description

A l'origine de ce livre, une conquête parmi tant d'autres : Alexandre le Grand occupait il y a 2300 ans la Bactriane, province occidentale de l'Asie centrale. Deux siècles plus tard, un envoyé chinois faisait le chemin inverse, vers l'Occident. La réalité humaine de ces régions, carrefour des routes de la Soie, fit éclore un commerce d'une richesse inouïe : ressources minérales (or, lapis-lazuli, turquoise), animales (chevaux ou moutons), vivrières, mais aussi la soie, le coton ou le thé... Marchands porteurs de denrées mais, aussi et surtout, d'idées et de spiritualités. Ce livre part à la redécouverte d'un monde aux dimensions d'un continent, de l'Iran à la Chine, entre les déserts et les steppes au nord et la barrière des Himalayas, au sud. Fébrilement et brièvement exploré au tournant du siècle, avant 1914, ce domaine était depuis lors ouvert par intermittences. L'éclatement de l'Union soviétique a fait sauter les verrous de sa partie la plus secrète : ce livre recrée l'unité d'un ensemble toujours divisé, mais désormais mieux connu. Ces civilisations charnières entre Orient et Occident sont en effet partagées entre des pays aux frontières souvent artificielles : anciennes républiques soviétiques, Afghanistan, Tibet, Mongolie ou Xinjiang chinois. Les cultures se sont succédé ou côtoyées dans ce creuset au rythme de trois grandes étapes. Antiquité où, sur fond d'affrontements et de symbiose, émergent des empires méconnus : parthe, kushan, sassanide, turco-sogdien. L'essor du bouddhisme, qui partira vers la Chine, la Corée, le Japon, marque une période de transition. Proclamé religion officielle du Tibet en 779, sous sa forme lamaïque, il est aussi adopté par la Mongolie. Enfin, la conquête arabe conduisit l'islam au cœur de l'Asie, et diffusa en retour techniques et motifs et couleurs vers Bagdad et Le Caire : ce fut l'apogée de l'Asie centrale, symbolisé par les noms magiques de Samarcande et Boukhara.
