Seller's Description:
Very Good. Faint creases in cover. Some underlining. This exhilarating and fascinating book is the account of Cowles' amazing adventure: a nineteen-day trek in which he immersed himself in the life of the notorious river. Sharing a ninety-five-foot junk with sixty-five crewmen, he encountered bandits, sages, revolutionaries, birth and death, and ultimately, a sense of meaningfulness that has accompanied him ever since--an awareness that we are all "brothers on the long river." Lyrical, thought-provoking and suspenseful, it is filled with reverence for oriental philosophy and a running commentary from the I Ching. Armchair adventure travel writing at its best, it's illustrated throughout with photos and illustrations plus a sixteen-page full-color insert.
