Publisher's Synopsis
As Singapore marks the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the British and an iconic hotel unveils a dazzling new design, best-selling author Pico Iyer explores how both can offer a fresh model for our world of crossing cultures. Drawing upon numerous stays in Raffles Hotel over 35 years and the fast-ascending city around it, this lifelong 'global soul' finds new ways of considering not just yesterday, but tomorrow.
