Riassunto

An Asia correspondent recalls how, after being warned by a Hong Kong fortune teller not to risk flying, he journeyed through many of the lesser-known corners of Asia by foot, train, bus, car, and boat, witnessing each region's cultural richness and meeting a host of soothsayers and shamans along the way. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.

Recensione:

“Terzani’s thoughtful progression provides great pleasure because he is more open to the people, and people are always the real journey.” —Book Page

“A marvelous traveling companion, Terzani entertains us with his reflections on subjects from astrology to political violence, from the depravity of Bangkok to the sterility of Singapore, and introduces us to the characters he meets along the way.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

“An extraordinary and nuanced account of a journey through the Far East and Southeast Asia.” —Library Journal
