The Great Wall, The Extraordinary Story of China's Wonder of the World

by John Man

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 2009
  • PAPER
  • 336 PAGES

Off he went, across China and Mongolia, in search of the wall of history and legend, not continuous, built over millennia, in many places a faint hill or rammed earth, not necessarily a wall at all. Man turns his quest into a marvelous travelogue, does of history leavened with irony and wit.  (CHN533, $16.95)
