The bestselling author as an ambassador of Asia. The best reports from the pen of the great journalist Tiziano Terzani, who spent decades in Asia and reported for Der Spiegel from there. He vividly depicts the major upheavals in politics as well as the joys and struggles of everyday life, the lives of the powerful and the ordinary people. His wife Angela Terzani and his former colleague Dieter Wild have curated the selection and provide introductions to the texts. Tiziano Terzani, whose book "The End is My Beginning" is a bestseller, spent a significant part of his life as a correspondent for Der Spiegel in various Asian countries, at a time when these were still largely closed to tourism and were the scene of profound upheavals. Terzani, who passed away four years ago, was renowned for his reports that went far beyond daily politics.
