L'Asie centrale demeure l'un des points névralgiques du monde et depuis deux siècles les grandes puissances convoitent ses richesses. Sur ces terres millénaires, l'Orient et l'Occident n'ont en fait jamais cessé de se rencontrer ou de s'affronter. Darius et Alexandre, puis des généraux chinois ou arabes ont porté leurs étendards dans les immenses steppes qui s'étendent de l'Amu-Daryia au Sinkiang, avant que Gengis Khan, Tamerlan, puis Babur, le premier des Grands Moghols, y fondent de puissants empires. Au fil des siècles, des civilisations prestigieuses s'y sont succédé, dont Boukhara, Samarkand, Lhassa, Dunhuang et bien d'autres lieux ont gardé la mémoire. Non loin des cavaliers turcs ou mongols, une société raffinée s'est épanouie, comme en témoigne l'art de la Sérinde. Toutes les grandes religions universelles y ont coexisté le mazdéisme, qui y a pris naissance, le chamanisme, le manichéisme, le christianisme, l'islam et le bouddhisme qui devait gagner les hauts plateaux du Tibet et la Mongolie. La liste est longue des grands hommes qui y vécurent: le poète Firdusi, auteur du fameux Livre des rois, Avicenne, al-Biruni, le plus grand savant du monde musulman, Ulu Beg, le premier astronome des temps modernes. Les anciennes routes de la Soie ont longtemps fait la fortune de l'Asie centrale et leur fermeture a entraîné sa ruine. Leur réouverture annonce-t-elle la renaissance de ces terres sur lesquelles se sont illustrées tant de cultures trop peu connues? Ce livre nous invite à les explorer en retraçant une histoire qui commence il y a plus de trois mille ans lorsque des artistes anonymes inventèrent l'art animalier. Jean-Paul Roux a consacré une large part de son oeuvre à l'étude des peuples turcs et mongols ainsi qu'à l'histoire comparée des religions. On lui doit, outre de nombreux articles, plusieurs livres de synthèse dont l'Histoire de l'Empire mongol, Le Sang, mythes symboles et réalités, Jésus.
