Adam Williams Livres

    10 juillet 1953

    Adam Williams, figure profondément liée à l'Asie par son éducation et son histoire familiale, allie son sens des affaires à une exploration profonde de la riche tapisserie du continent. Ses expériences, de la navigation dans les complexités du commerce mondial à la conduite d'expéditions aventureuses dans des paysages reculés, éclairent une perspective unique. Williams écrit avec un œil vif pour les détails et un talent narratif qui entraîne les lecteurs au cœur de ses décors choisis.

Unlike previous Vitruvius volumes, it features plans for many smaller structures and served as a model book for 19th-century American builders and architects.

      Harry Airton, a Scottish fisherman, has China in his blood. A chance encounter with a spook during the Korean War gives him the opportunity to return to the land of his birth and serve his goverment at the same time. They hatch a long-term plan to create the perfect spy: a triple agent with a cover that can't be broken, because it's genuine. What Harry doesn't realise is that if he is setting the perfect trap, the Communist Chinese may also be finding the perfect bait. And that as the Cold War escalates and China marches towards Cultural Revolution and the end of the twentieth-century, the fates of two people who love each other are entirely unimportant...

      The book features a unique blend of photographs and poems that explore the meditative chant "so ham," emphasizing themes of connection, karma, and the essence of yoga philosophy. It delves into the concepts of presence and the three gunas—rajas, tamas, and sattva—while drawing inspiration from the experience of being in harmony with the natural world. This work invites readers to reflect on their own existence and the deeper meanings of life through a meditative lens.
