This book is a travel narrative in which the traveler himself brings at least as much to the scene being described as does the scene itself. The book turns rigorously philosophical and poetically metaphorical perspective processes each place and each person that it describes, bringing an additional element of foreignness to what are already, for most of the readers, foreign tableaus.
