Klappentext Fast-paced! vivid and emotionally absorbing! HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH IN RISING ASIA creates two unforgettable characters who find moments of transcendent intimacy in the midst of shattering change. Zusammenfassung This book is a self-help book. Its objective, as it says on the cover, is to show you how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. And to do that it has to find you, huddled, shivering, on the packed earth under your mother's cot one cold, dewy morning. Your anguish is the anguish of a boy whose chocolate has been thrown away, whose remote controls are out of batteries, whose scooter is busted, whose new sneakers have been stolen. This is all the more remarkable since you've never in your life seen any of these things . . .
