"An utterly charming and engaging travel book that offers vivid portraits of unusual corners of Asia, told by a skilled raconteur whose eyes were open wide." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

Warned by a Hong Kong fortune-teller not to risk flying for an entire year, Tiziano Terzani--a vastly experienced Asia correspondent--took what he called "the first step into an unknown world. . . . It turned out to be one of the most extraordinary years I have ever spent: I was marked for death, and instead I was reborn."

Traveling by foot, boat, bus, car, and train, he visited Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Geography expanded under his feet. He consulted soothsayers, sorcerers, and shamans and received much advice--some wise, some otherwise--about his future. With time to think, he learned to understand, respect, and fear for older ways of life and beliefs now threatened by the crasser forms of Western modernity. He rediscovered a place he had been reporting on for decades. And reinvigorated himself in the process.

Gorgeous!
Color: 01.Heart Cut, Style: 04. April (Diamond)
I love this necklace! I wanted something that represented my birthstone, but did not cost a fortune and could be easily replaced if it’s ever lost. I have very sensitive skin. Seriously, I’m even allergic to gold unless it’s pure. This necklace is perfect. The chain hasn’t bothered the skin on my neck since I put it on. The size is perfect for me. It sits exactly where I want it to. The pendant is a true Goldilocks - not too big, not too small, but just right! I love the way it looks in the sun! Sparkles, sparkles, sparkles! This is definitely going to be my go to, everyday piece. I highly recommend this to anyone who is even a little bit interested in buying it. You won’t be disappointed. It makes a wonderful gift for ladies and girls of all ages, or simply as a treat to yourself! Choose your birthstone or your favorite color! In fact, I’m considering which color to purchase next. Can’t say enough how much I am in love with this amazing piece!

Sparkling ✨️ Pretty
Color: 02.Round Cut, Style: 04. April (Diamond)
The chain is very nice, can adjust it to 16 to 18inches. Appears to be 925 sterling sliver. The diamond charm is about a diime in size. It's sparkling and pretty. I can't decide if the charm is to big or not for me. All in all 40. Spent on it was ok but no more.
