About the author

Annette Bräker first came into contact with Asia when she was very young. Her father was an orientalist whose wife usually accompanied him on his research trips, and their daughter Annette was often allowed to go along with them, so that she got to know and love Asia very early on. This led her to study comparative religion, Malay studies and oriental art history.
