Inspired by the legend of a 5th-century Buddhist monk who crossed the Pacific and visited the Americas, Gary Geddes set out on a journey that took him from Afghanistan to Mexico. The people and traditions that he encountered reveal both the hubris of the Western view of world history and the overlap between ancient events and modern politics. Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things takes its title from a Chinese term for the scope and wonders of life—full of adventure, philosophy and excitement. Compelling and richly comic, this is the nationally bestselling story of a remarkable odyssey.
