Hailed as the best travel book on Burma since World War II, this overnight bestseller offers "a simple blueprint for Utopia" in one of the world's most enigmatic countries.
Despite travelling at a time of massive internal insecurity, Norman Lewis discovered the eternal Burma, where pagodas are the only punctuation on the horizon and strangers are treated with an overwhelming friendliness. His journey captures a land of timeless beauty and extraordinary warmth, revealing the soul of a nation beyond the turmoil of its politics.
Lewis also revisits the tragic Burma Road, trekked by so many refugees fleeing before the Japanese advance in 1942, adding a poignant historical dimension to this vivid and unforgettable portrait of a remarkable country.
