The Journey of Exiguous Dust
by I CHI HO
Description
From the divine to the human world, from humanity to history, the author left Taiwan for Indo-Pacific, Asia, and Europe. Her touring journals are like footsteps in the mortal coil, measuring people and the mysterious world. This book collects tens of travel journals across decades. The places she went to are mainly countries in western and southern Asia. Muslim and Hindi culture are particularly described in a delicate way.
These articles have expanded a rare field among tourism writing in Taiwan. The most fascinating part of this book is the thoughtfulness and kindness encountered during the journey. Different cultures and languages, stepping outside of the comfort zone during the travel sometimes lead to inevitable economic embarrassments. However, people’s warm-hearted and empathy behaviors somehow shorten the gap and make the dissimilarity invisible, where we find the value of traveling.

Azure Publishing House
Publishing is a journey of discovery; it is with this spirit that Azure Books, founded in 2013, is committed to expanding a new horizon for Taiwan's reading market. Currently, what we are most interested in is public history and philosophical works in "nonfictional writing", including both originally written in Chinese and translated from foreign works. The public history so far focuses on the popularization of Taiwan's history. Taiwan has many excellent history researchers and has accumulated rich research results over the years. Azure Books hope to combine the content of the academic essays with public writing, bringing about more quality books. As for the publication of philosophical books, Azure Books wishes to inspire more readers to be "willing to think and to be able to think", and to make our modest contribution to foster an increasingly mature civil society in Taiwan.
