Lost on Planet China

by J. Maarten Troost

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 bit 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.

Troost brings China to life as you've never seen it before, and his perceptive rip-roaringly funny narrative proves that once again he is one of the most entertaining and insightful armchair travel companions.
