A Barbarian in Asia

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Henri Michaux

Translated by: Sylvia Beach

Henri Michaux (18991984), the great French poet and painter, set out as a young man to see the Far East. Traveling from India to the Himalayas, and on to China and Japan, Michaux voices his vivid impressions, cutting opinions, and curious insights: he has no trouble speaking his mind. Part fanciful travelogue and part exploration of culture, A Barbarian in Asia is presented here in its original translation by Sylvia Beach, the famous American-born bookseller in Paris. See more
