As he travelled through Burma on literary lecture tours in the late 1980s, he encountered porters, sailors, fortune-tellers, waitresses, artists and petty criminals 'on the road to Mandalay'. Their stories were published in Burma in \u003cem\u003eKalya\u003c\/em\u003e magazine. Himself a prolific translator into Burmese of eastern and western classical works of literature, this is Mya Than Tint's first major work to have been translated into English--an inspiring read and itself now a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mya Than Tint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9748299252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789748299259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orchid Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.55d","brand":"Mya Than Tint","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983540814079,"sku":"9789748299259","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55c812d6-8e6b-4d4c-82af-590ebb17ae23.jpg?v=1683267260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-road-to-mandalay-mya-than-tint-9789748299259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
