Description
Country Driving: A Chinese Road Trip is an unforgettable portrait of China, told through the author's personal journey. After five years living in China and learning the language, Peter Hessler embarked on an epic road trip across the country.
Over seven years, he travelled to places rarely explored by tourists, into factories exporting goods to the world and into the homes of their workers. Along the way, he encountered extraordinary people and experiences that shed light on life beyond Beijing.
This unique travelogue offers a fresh perspective on China's complexities and contradictions, one that will likely shape our understanding of this enigmatic country for years to come.
