 Go to India
 From the Travelers' Tales series. This popular book in the Travelers' Tales Destination series weaves a tapestry of sensory images, profound transformations, and compelling history about a land that has lured and puzzled travelers for centuries and continues to do so today. Travelers' Tales India includes 49 stories and dozens of sidebar anecdotes covering the sprawling canvas of the country, from the high Himalayas to the dense jungles teeming with wildlife, to the chaotic inner cities and deceptively slow-paced villages. Among the stories: Jan Haag participates in a traditional Indian wedding, noted chef Madhur Jaffrey feasts on food for body and soul, Jonah Blank encounters the caretakers of the dead on the Ganges, William Dalrymple penetrates the mysteries of the Sufi masters, and David Yeadon takes a bath with 15 million people. "The essays are lyrical, magical and evocative: some of the images make you want to rinse your mouth out to clear the dust."
--Yakima Herald-Republic "India - monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colors and corpses, smoke and ash, snow and endless myth - is a cruel, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness. Much like life itself, And, like life itself (if reincarnation be true) worth visiting repeatedly, in this turn of the wheel and the next."  (2/04)
