Description
“ Un bárbaro en Asia , escrito entre 1930 y 1931, es un clásico moderno. Diario de viaje, cuaderno de ruta, ofrece al lector, en forma de ensayos o de reportajes, una ojeada sagaz de la India, de China, del Japón y de Malasia. Notará el lector que Michaux hace siempre turismo espiritual y quedamos estupefactos ante la personalidad secreta del escritor. Michaux traza sobre todo un retrato pintoresco de los hindúes y de los chinos. Todas sus impresiones se caracterizan por su desparpajo y buen humor. Y si a esto se añade una prosa muscular, enjuta, en la que cada frase tiene una densidad explosiva, de seguro que leemos al mejor Michaux” (Cristobal Serra). En junio de 1966, escribía Jorge Luis Borges sobre este libro : “Había entonces traducido Un bárbaro en Asia y espero no haber traicionado ―en el sentido del refrán italiano― esta obra aguda que no es apología ni ataque, sino las dos cosas a la vez, y muchas cosas más”.
