關於產品

Product Information

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.

Praise for GETTING STONED WITH SAVAGES "One of Troost's greatest successes is that he's not reporting, exactly, not writing as a journalist would, but simply living his life in a faraway place and writing about it." -- New York Times "Troost manages to relate his misadventures in an irreverently funny style . . . this makes for a good beach read on your own vacation." -- Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Praise for The Sex Lives of Cannibals "A comic masterwork of travel writing" - Publishers Weekly "Troost has a command of place and narrative that puts him in the company of some of today's best travel writers." - Elle, Praise for GETTING STONED WITH SAVAGES "One of Troost's greatest successes is that he's not reporting, exactly, not writing as a journalist would, but simply living his life in a faraway place and writing about it." --New York Times "Troost manages to relate his misadventures in an irreverently funny style . . . this makes for a good beach read on your own vacation." --Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewPraise forThe Sex Lives of Cannibals "A comic masterwork of travel writing" -Publishers Weekly "Troost has a command of place and narrative that puts him in the company of some of today's best travel writers." -Elle, Praise for GETTING STONED WITH SAVAGES "One of Troost's greatest successes is that he's not reporting, exactly, not writing as a journalist would, but simply living his life in a faraway place and writing about it." --New York Times "Troost manages to relate his misadventures in an irreverently funny style . . . this makes for a good beach read on your own vacation." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Praise forThe Sex Lives of Cannibals "A comic masterwork of travel writing" -Publishers Weekly "Troost has a command of place and narrative that puts him in the company of some of today's best travel writers." -Elle
