Über diesen Titel
There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, 'Two tigers cannot share the same mountain'. However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other.
In his latest entertaining and thought-provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three 'tiger' nations and what prevents them from making peace. Currently China's economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations.
An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan and Korea, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and in-depth look at some of the world's most powerful and important countries.
