Specificatii
The bestselling author of The Sex Lives of Cannibals returns with a
sharply observed, hilarious account of his adventures in China--a
complex, fascinating country with enough dangers and delicacies to
keep him, and readers, endlessly entertained. Maarten Troost has
charmed legions of readers with his laugh-out-loud tales of
wandering the remote islands of the South Pacific. When the travel
bug hit again, he decided to go big-time, taking on the world's
most populous and intriguing nation. In Lost on Planet China,
Troost escorts readers on a rollicking journey through the new
beating heart of the modern world, from the megalopolises of
Beijing and Shanghai to the Gobi Desert and the hinterlands of
Tibet. Lost on Planet China finds Troost dodging deadly drivers in
Shanghai; eating Yak in Tibet; deciphering restaurant menus
(offering local favorites such as Cattle Penis with Garlic);
visiting with Chairman Mao (still dead, very orange); and hiking
(with 80,000 other people) up Tai Shan, China's most revered
mountain. But in addition to his trademark gonzo adventures, the
book also delivers a telling look at a vast and complex country on
the brink of transformation that will soon shape the way we all
work, live, and think. As Troost shows, while we may be familiar
with Yao Ming or dim sum or the cheap, plastic products that line
the shelves of every store, the real China remains a world--indeed,
a planet--unto itself. Maarten Troost brings China to life as
you've never seen it before, and his insightful, rip-roaringly
funny narrative proves that once again he is one of the most
entertaining and insightful armchair travel companions around.
