Geocache Description:


[EST]

Seekordne väliskirjanike seeria aare tutvustab teile malaisia kirjanikku Tan Twan Eng. Ta on avaldanud kaks romaani, mis on mõlemad pälvinud suurt tähelepanu. Aarde leidmiseks tuleb lähemalt tutvuda romaaniga „The Garden of Evening Mists“ (eesti k „Õhtuste udude aed“, tlk Triin Tael, Varrak, 2015). Kuna raamatus on tähtis osa Jaapani aial, siis ainult raamatu lugemisest ei piisa, vaid tuleb külastada ka Jaapani aeda Kadrioru pargis.

Aarde leiad koordinaatidelt:
