Description:
Andre Gide praised The Asiatics as "an authentic masterpiece". Thomas Mann called it "brilliant". First published in 1935, this extraordinary novel tells the story of a perceptive young American who hitchhikes his way across the continent of Asia -- from Beirut to the border of China -- living off the land and the hospitality of the people he meets along the road. Rich with the fascination of far-off lands, vibrant with a diversity of characters ranging from thieves to rajas, graphic in its description of luxury and beauty, poverty and ugliness, The Asiatics is a modern classic of remarkable adventure in ancient lands.
