Description
A Dragon Apparent Travels in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam by Norman Lewis In the late years of French colonial rule, Indo-China was a land of contrasts, where ancient traditions and modernity coexisted. Norman Lewis, a British traveler, was drawn to this region, where he encountered the remnants of a bygone era. His journeys took him to the hills, where he stayed in the longhouses of the highlanders, and to the plains, where he was enchanted by the people he met. Lewis's travels were marked by a sense of wonder and respect for the cultures he encountered. He met with royalty and nobility, and was struck by the gentleness and tolerance of the people. His experiences in Cambodia and Vietnam offer a unique glimpse into the region's rich history and heritage. This new edition of Lewis's travelogue presents a fascinating account of a bygone era, where the charm and grandeur of ancient civilizations still lingered.
