Does the world revolve around us, or does it revolve around them? This book encourages us to revisit the debate between the geocentric and heliocentric theories. In Indonesia, India, Benin, Peru, Mongolia, and Japan, we encounter vast grasslands, mountains exceeding 5,000 metres in altitude, and dry, tawny earth. People are living amidst landscapes utterly unlike our everyday world, with their own values and traditions. Meeting their gaze, the book’s central question stirs within us. Is the place where we stand now the centre, or is it where they stand, in what we call the “remote regions”? Our belief in the centre of the world wavers, and our perception undergoes a profound shift.
