In 1911, Hermann Hesse sailed through southeastern Asian waters on a trip that would define much of his later writing. Hesse brings his unique eye to scenes such as adventures in a rickshaw, watching foreign theater performances, exploring strange floating cities on stilts, and luxuriating in the simple beauty of the lush natural landscape. Even in the doldrums of travel, he records his experience with faithful humor, wit, and sharp observation, offering a broad vision of travel in the early 1900s. With a glimpse into the workings of his mind through the pages of his journals, poems, and a short story—all translated into English for the first time—these writings describe the real-life experiences that inspired Hesse to pen his most famous works.(P)2026 Shambhala Publications Art & Literature Asia Authors Biographies & Memoirs Southeast Asia Travel Writing & Commentary Witty Adventure

This was such a surprise and delight. I thought I knew all of Hesse’s work, but this travelogue through southeast asia was an incredible treat. Highly recommended.
