Random House, 1986, 1986. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, near fine, clean and unmarked, in VG black pictorial dj. 499 pp. including index. A 6 year journey along the back roads of Africa and Asia, the author traveled by road and rail, and at times on foot, through 50 countries, including India, China. And the nations of West, Central, and East Africa. This is the story of his journey, staying in villages wherever possible, the author came to love the slow and stately cadence of village life and its rich and heady blend of myth and magic, custom and tradition.He makes the unfamiliar ''ordinary people'' of the Third World as real to us as our neighbors.
