Hop on the Bus with Bill Porter and Savour the Elegance of Old ChinaBy Theo BartusThis is another highly enjoyable travelogue by master translator and raconteur Bill Porter; describing life on the road visiting historic sites related to the most sophisticated and charming elements of one of the worlds most civilized cultures. Bill captures brillantly the contrast between the lesser element of a lesser age and the high culture and literature that has defined his life and loves. A wonderful addition to your library of topics on China or travelogues.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
