内容简介 From the Publisher
A personable account of a two-year wander around the world in the early 1960s, when the author was in his early twenties and not long out of Eton. All the qualities I have come to admire in Williams’s later writing are here — his sophisticated innocence, his charming sense of the absurd, the casual intensity of his poet’s eye. It is this last which makes the book a mosaic of brilliant glimpses, whether Williams is riding across the deserts of the Middle East, idling for weeks on a houseboat in Kashmir, or dealing with the “evil eye” on a mail packet in the PaciTc. A jaunty, thoroughly winning traveler’s tale.
