I recommend though for the future the author Yasunari Kawabata – Snow Country in particular which is the only one so far I`ve read from him (but I plan to read more).It’s taken me to a land I hadn’t met in literature before and to the true love of and for medicine and surgery. This book is a wonderful cultural journey 'from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe', as claimed by the blurb, journeying across all seven continents - even Antarctica is designated a page of its own - and covering every country, attempting to describe the culture, peoples, cuisine, geography and history of each, albeit somewhat superficially in some cases. I personally did not read anything of hers but she did win some prizes in Europe for her supposedly antiwar stance.
