«C'era una volta l'Oriente» is Pico Iyer's travel book, published by Neri Pozza in paperback (480 pages, in Italian).
The book brings together eleven travel chronicles through Tibet, China, India and Thailand. Pico Iyer observes how Asian cultures transform and adopt Western idioms, with scenes such as a Rambo remake in India or talks about the dollar in Hong Kong. It alternates chronicle and essay to reflect on identity in a globalized world.
The work belongs to the «Le tavole d'oro» collection by Neri Pozza and was published in 2000, translated by F. Diano.
It will appeal to readers of travel literature and chronicles about Asian culture and globalization.
