Inhaltsangabe
If you want to understand China take the train -- as the Chinese do, as Paul Theroux did -- in every province of the People's Republic, from the searing Gobi of western Xinjiang to the frozen wastes of Manchuria. The result is the most beguiling and revealing portrait of China since Marco Polo.
In RIDING THE IRON ROOSTER, Theroux's practiced eye, adventurous spirit and rich prose produce a vivid memoir, full of people and talk -- war, outspoken conversations about the private life of China today, the Cultural Revolution and Mao, about writing novels, growing fruit, and the details of everyday life; about discontent, patriotism and the possibility of a better life in America.

Hardcover. Very Good in Good+ DJ: The Book shows indications of careful use: mild shelving wear to the lower extremities; the text pages have tanned slightly, due to aging; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing moderate wear and a single minor, unobtrusive flaw. The DJ shows moderate wear to extremities, with scant loss to rubs and chips and short, closed tears to the top edge of the rear panel; mild rubbing; clipped; mylar-protected. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.25 x 5.75 x 1 inches). 213 pages. Translated from the French by Warre Bradley Wells. Language: English. Weight: 15.1 ounces. This may be a book-club edition, though the book shows none of the characteristic marks thereof. The DJ is definitely a Book Club, so stated at the lower corner of the inside front flap.
