Henri Michaux 
A Barbarian in Asia [EPUB ebook] 

A wild journey to the East narrated by a writer who is “without equal in the literature of our time” (Jorge Luis Borges)

Henri Michaux (1899–1984), the great French poet and painter, set out as a young man to see the Far East. Traveling from India to the Himalayas, and on to China and Japan, Michaux voices his vivid impressions, cutting opinions, and curious insights: he has no trouble speaking his mind. Part fanciful travelogue and part exploration of culture,
A Barbarian in Asia is presented here in its original translation by Sylvia Beach, the famous American-born bookseller in Paris.
