  A Dragon Apparent: Travels in Cambodia, Laos & Vietnam by Norman Lewis

  £12.99 Price: £11.69    Add to Basket

  Published in typically beautiful fashion by Eland, Lewis describes his travels through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in the late 1940s. He speaks to French colonists, slaves, emperors and peasants on the eve of massive change and widespread devastation to the land, its architecture and its people. Fascinating, insightful and deeply poignant. Probably our favourite of Lewis' books.
