When the Bamboo Blooms...

Like a crescent moon, the cities and villages lie on the banks of the great river. In this book, Georg Felsberg tells of encounters on the Brahmaputra, of the transience of life and the quiet beauty of Asia.

When the bamboo blooms, it means a time of change in many parts of Asia. Every 40 to 60 years the bamboo blooms – and then it dies. For the people in the villages along the great river, this is a sign. A sign of departure, of new beginnings, of farewell. Georg Felsberg visited these people, lived with them, heard their stories.

A book about traveling, about people and about the power of nature that determines our lives – no matter where we are.
