The author undertakes a journey from the mouth of the Yangste River to its source. This book presents the story of the river, it's cities and their people, built around the author's own journey to discover something of the essence of China and her people, the Yangtse being her soul and center.

Simon Winchester, who has reported from almost everywhere during an award-winning 20 year career as a Guardian correspondent, now lives in NY. He is the Asia-Pacific Editor for Conde Nast Traveler & contributes to a number of American magazines, as well as the Daily Telegraph, the Spectator and the BBC. His books include: OUTPOSTS: TRAVELS TO THE REMAINS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE; KOREA: A WALK THROUGH THE LAND OF MIRACLES; THE PACIFIC; PACIFIC NIGHTMARE; PRISON DIARY, ARGENTINA.

The plan; the mouth, open wide; the city without a past; the first reach; city of victims; rising waters; crushed, torn and curled; swimming; a new great wall; the shipmasters' guide; the foothills; the garden country of Joseph Rock; the river wild; harder than the road to heaven; headwaters.
