Now in paperback, this work by Terzani, a jet-age Asian correspondent, recounts his year of traveling the Far East by foot, boat, bus, car, and train--but never by airplane--while rediscovering the land, the people, and himself.
And reinvigorated himself in the process..
He rediscovered a place he had been reporting on for decades.
With time to think, he learned to understand, respect, and fear for older ways of life and beliefs now threatened by the crasser forms of Western modernity.
He consulted soothsayers, sorcerers, and shamans and received much advice--some wise, some otherwise--about his future.
Geography expanded under his feet.
Traveling by foot, boat, bus, car, and train, he visited Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
