Inhaltsangabe

Hanoi stands beside the Red River, a thousand-year capital shaped by water, scholarship, trade, colonial rule, war and the constant negotiation of shared space. Its identity survives in citadel foundations, lake paths, narrow shop houses, communal courtyards and streets that change purpose by the hour.

A Little Book of Hanoi enters Vietnam's capital through forty concise, researched reflections. Follow Thang Long from the imperial citadel to Hoan Kiem Lake; read the trades preserved in Old Quarter street names; cross Long Bien Bridge; enter Van Mieu, Dong Xuan Market and Hoa Lo Prison. Sit on the sidewalk for pho, bun cha, egg coffee and bia hoi, then listen to water puppetry and ca tru while collective housing, motorbikes and creative reuse reveal the modern city.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is an intimate literary portrait rather than a conventional guidebook: a book about water, memory, shared streets and the practical intelligence of reinvention.
