    From the author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People, a lively tour through Japan, Korea, and China, exploring the intertwined cultures and often fraught history of these neighboring countries.There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, "Two tigers cannot share the same mountain." However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other. In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three "tiger" nations, and what prevents them from making peace. Currently China's economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic, and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations.An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan, and Korea, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and in-depth look at some of the world's most powerful and important countries.

    Danskerne er blevet kåret til verdens lykkeligste folk flere gange – og når vi for en sjælden gangs skyld ikke vinder førstepræmien, er det som regel fordi vi er blevet overgået af svenskere, islændinge, finner eller nordmænd. Man skulle tro at skandinaverne var en gruppe jublende festaber, men lykken er til at overse, torsdag eftermiddag på Knippelsbro, når regnen står i stænger og cyklisterne kæmper om kap med vandmasserne, myldretidstrafikken og fodgængernes paraplyer. Hvordan går melankoli, livslede og regnvejr i spænd med verdens lykkeligste folk?Det er hvad den engelske forfatter, journalist og klummeskriver Michael Booth har sat sig for at undersøge. Resultatet er et morsomt, spiddende men også hjertevarmt portræt af finansvikingerne fra Island, af saunafinnerne, olie-nordmændene og de evigt korrekte svenskere – men først og fremmest af de danskere, som Booth har forelsket sig i – i bogstaveligste forstand, i det han har valgt at gifte sig med én af dem og slå sig ned i kongeriget Danmark.
