Produktbeschreibung
In the summer of 2001, Peter Hessler, the long-time Beijing correspondent for the New Yorker, acquired his Chinese driver's licence. For the next seven years he travelled the country, tracking how the automobile and the improved transport system were transforming China. Hessler writes movingly of everyday people - farmers, migrant

walls against outsiders, is building the roads and factory towns that will shape the twenty-first century.
