An inspirational tale of culture shock. Paul takes everything as it comes to him and assimilates it into his inner world while the outer world batters him this way and that. Music and the love of his friends and the Tuvan people carry Paul (mostly)safely through a great adventure. Love the story, the music is intriguing, the scenery is beautiful. The political back story is fascinating, understanding how the Tuvan people managed to hang on to their culture through the Soviet rule. The Feynman angle is strange and funny enough to believe. I remember my mother having some Tuvan postage stamps. My only quibble is with the production values-they do not live up to the beauty of the tale.
