{"product_id":"under-the-bright-sky-andrew-scott-9781773860619","title":"Under the Bright Sky: A Memoir of Travels Through Asia","description":"Under the Bright Sky: A Memoir of Travels through Asia brings together ten personal travelogues set in ten Asian countries over a period of several decades. Each story is a snapshot of a distinct time and place, covering a vast and complex landscape, both physical and emotional. A father revisits Sri Lanka, where he had been posted fifty years earlier during WWII; a spouse searches for long-lost relatives in the small villages of southern China. A widowed husband mourns; the stages of a new romance are celebrated in India and Indonesia. Cultural conflict is encountered in Turkey; cultural cooperation in Vietnam. Together, these intimate recollections are a meditation on the relationships between cultures. Interlaced with each new experience is a sense of familiarity and appreciation as Scott places his own travels into the context of those before him, exploring our interconnectedness--a Thai Buddhist abbot in search of the perfect piece of BC jade, and the first Japanese visitors to the Pacific Northwest, a group of seamen who arrive the hard way, drifting in their disabled vessel for more than a year. In Under the Bright Sky, award-winning author Andrew Scott ventures through time and space in search of connection and meaning. His devotion and insight will inspire travellers and historians alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773860615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773860619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Andrew Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945007841535,"sku":"9781773860619","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16ec4c7d-5286-4317-94e6-5e22e35e88ff.jpg?v=1681506242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-bright-sky-andrew-scott-9781773860619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
