This book is a travel journal, by a 'Barbarian' as Henri Michaux designates himself, who relates his journey through southern and eastern Asia. he was then barely thirty, in 1931, and yet, he was no wide-eyed tourist. This book is full of subjective glimpses that cover a wide swathe of Asia- India, the Himalayas, Ceylon, malaya, China, French Indo and Japan, and describes Michaux's impressions and opinions towards a culture and way of life that, through his Western eyes, often seem odd and inexplicable. he praises, and at the same time, makes fun of these foreign habits that he hardly understands.

Painter, jounalist,poet and writer, Henri Machaux was born in Belgium in a Catholic family. He soon ran away to northern and southern Altantic, as a ship's stoker in the French Merchant Marines. Later, he travelled to Africa, South America, India and China, which inspired his first books, Ecuador and Barbarian in Asia. He tried his hand at several careers and experimented with drugs, the latter resulting in two of his most intriguing works, Miserable Miracle, and The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless Minor Ones.
