Weight: 1 lb. 9 oz. Richard Bernstein (born 1944) is an American journalist, columnist, and author. He wrote the Letter from America column for the International Herald Tribune. He has been a book critic at The New York Times and a foreign correspondent --who speaks Chinese--for both Time magazine and The New York Times in Europe and Asia.<br /> <br /> Six hundred years before Marco Polo made his way to China, the learned Buddhist monk Hsuan Tsang-- in order to learn more about his faith and ultimate truth-- traveled 12,000 miles on foot with some on horseback from China to Southern India, a journey that took this sage 17 years. Learned Sinologist Richard Bernstein retraces as much of the monk's route as possible. It's a clear and remarkable travelogue.<br /> <br /> SUPERIOR COPY: Tight, bright, clean in comparable dust jacket (unclipped). No previous owner or remainder marks.
