KOREA A Walk through the land of miracles by Simon Winchester

The author walks 300 miles through Korea. This is a used travel book in crappy condition but perfectly readable, scarce and cheap: cover and corners are creased and worn; name inscription on first page; pages browning with age. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive, we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: In the late 1980s, New York Times bestselling author Simon Winchester set out on foot to discover the Republic of Korea -- from its southern tip to the North Korean border -- in order to set the record straight about this enigmatic and elusive land.

Fascinating for its vivid presentation of historical and geographic detail, Korea is that rare book that actually defines a nation and its people. Winchester's gift for capturing engaging characters in true, compelling stories provides us with a treasury of enchanting and informed insight on the culture, language, history, and politics of this little-known corner of Asia.

With a new introduction by the author, Korea is a beautiful journey through a mysterious country and a memorable addition to the many adventures of Simon Winchester.
