Read an excerpt depicting Richie's recent visit to Burma!

In this new collection of travel essays, the unmatchable Donald Richie explores Egypt, India, Bhutan, Mongolia, China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, Borneo, Thailand, Yap, Korea, and Japan. Richie, the best-known Western observer of Japanese life, is at his finest, detailing people, scenes, and sensations from distant lands. While noting that many of these cultures are changing and modernizing, Richie still manages to find the timeless elements that make the people he meets instantly recognizable.

Donald Richie is a long-time observer of Japan and the author of The Inland Sea and many other works of travel and cultural criticism.
