Items related to The River at the Centre of the World: A Journey up...
The Yangtze is central to the life and development of China, and yet its far reaches are still inaccessible to most, simply by dint of the difficulty of the terrain. Simon Winchester set out to follow the river from its mouth in the East China Sea to its source somewhere in Tibet.

Review:
"Winchester is a storyteller...romantic enough to make us yearn to be there with him." --"The Washington Post" "Winchester is an exceptionally engaging guide...at home everywhere, ready for anything, full of gusto, and seemingly omnivorous curiosity." --"The New York Times Book Review" "Another home run." --"Los Angeles Times" "At one time or another, many of us, I suspect, have wanted to be Simon Winchester, to lead a life that was equal parts Jan Morris and James Bond." --"San Francisco Chronicle" "Winchester is an exquisite writer and a deft anecdoteur." --Christopher Buckley
