This book series is a collaborative labor of love between author Lise Leyris, illustrator Maxim Lo Mei Sum, Dr. M. Fraissinet, and of course, Paul. The Earth is a big and beautiful world full of sights, sounds, tastes, and people of all kinds to meet, and the young traveler Petit Paul is eager to experience it all.

Memoirs of Globetrotters

Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490772928
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
In Memoirs of Globetrotters, I write about Asians who have made lives in other countries other than their own viz. America, England, Australia, Italy and Malaysians. Some have left their mother country from an early age following their families on diplomatic postings. I also touched on life in the diplomatic world which I found interesting and which I feel would be interesting to the readers. I also touched on places, some remote some familiar to readers which were their hometowns before they left to venture to faraway places. Th eir experiences as a foreigner are all mentioned as part of their life overseas. Most of these events happened as far back as in the 1950s. I have categorized the characters under three diff erent groups viz: Children of Diplomats, Th e Missionaries and Th e Adventures based on their life stories and experiences. All the stories are true and some heart breaking and it touches on the path of life through the choices we made through their own or was chosen for them.

Alfred Raquez and the French Experience of the Far East, 1898-1906
Author: William L. Gibson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000379752
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
A Study of an Enigmatic Travel Writer and His Work in Colonial Asia during the fin de siècle. In 1898, a man calling himself Alfred Raquez appeared in Indochina claiming to be a writer travelling the world to escape unfathomable sorrows back home in France. He published thousands of pages of highly detailed travel accounts that open a unique window onto the European presence in the Far East. He travelled far into the Zomia of upland Southeast Asia, a peripheral zone populated by people who lived beyond official state power. Raquez explored the nightlife of Shanghai and operated a popular cabaret in Hanoi. An amateur anthropologist, he helped mount expositions of colonial material in Hanoi and Marseille. Raquez met people in the highest circles of belle époque Indochina, as well as the kings of Annam, Cambodia, Laos and Siam. And yet, despite the charm and the ebullience and the erudition, through all his travels and rising fame, the man kept a secret that was so mortifying that even his closest companions would not learn of it until after his death in 1907. In truth, Alfred Raquez did not exist. A fascinating read for students and scholars of colonial Southeast Asia, and European colonialism more broadly.
