«La porta proibita» is the travel book and reportage by Tiziano Terzani, published by TEA in paperback (270 pages, in Italian).
After being detained, interrogated and expelled from China in 1984, Tiziano Terzani reconstructs the four years he lived there with his family wanting to feel Chinese: children in a local school and trips to places off the tourist trail. The work combines reportage, travel diary and essay on sinology, showing a China different from the superficial one.
The TEA edition is from 2008 and belongs to the series «I grandi». The cover subtitle is «Terzani in Cina: gli incontri, le scoperte, la rivoluzione, la persecuzione».
Work for readers interested in China, the country's recent history and travel journalism with a personal perspective.
Tiziano Terzani was an Italian journalist and writer, best known for his extensive knowledge of 20th century East Asia and for being one of the very few western reporters to witness both the fall of Saigon to the hands of the Viet Cong and the fall of Phnom Penh at the hands of the Khmer Rouge in the mid-1970s.
