Summary:
Footloose American Paul Theroux sets out from London's Victoria Station to span the breadth of two continents. His eye misses no marvel of landscape or humanity - con men, holy men, beggars, spies, smugglers, simpletons, soldiers, prostitutes, thieves, politicians, aristocrats and artists.... All Asia becomes a bazaar of cultures - from Kali temple to a Madras brothel.
