Title : The Taste of Asia - Collectives - book

Summary :

Discover Asia as you've never imagined it: the Asia of all passions, the Asia of all dangers. Follow the trail of adventurers and missionaries, explorers and reporters, barbarians and thurifers, philosophers and storytellers. Enter the mysteries of Buddhism, calligraphy, martial arts, enigmatic customs, strategy games, forbidden pleasures, and the amorous and culinary practices of Asia. Selected writers share their encounters, their dazzlements, their doubts. Without them, what would we know of Asia? They tell their stories, they bear witness, they are afraid of nothing, not even of displeasing. Alexandra David-Néel, Yukio Mishima, Anna Moï, Tash Aw, Claude Farrère, Stefan Zweig, Clara Malraux, Shan Sa, Rudyard Kipling, Dai Sijie, Roland Barthes, Fabienne Verdier, Henri Michaux, Mayuzumi Madoka, and many others..., each presents, in their own way, a scintillating facet of the Asian enigma.
