En 1409, Fei Xin, jeune homme de troupe embarqué sur les jonques géantes de l'amiral Zheng He, quitte les côtes de Chine pour l'un des voyages les plus vastes jamais entrepris. Pendant plus de vingt ans, au fil des expéditions de la flotte du Trésor, il sillonne la mer de Chine, l'océan Indien, le golfe Persique et les rivages de la corne de l'Afrique.
De pays en pays, il note tout: le faste des rois, les moeurs surprenantes, les produits et les commerces, les légendes de têtes volantes et de veuves jetées au bûcher. Champa et son calendrier lunaire, Java la peuplée, Palembang et son pirate capturé, Ceylan et l'empreinte du Bouddha, Ormuz et ses montagnes de sel, La Mecque et sa pierre noire, le Bengale et sa cour couverte d'or: quarante-quatre contrées défilent, chacune close par un poème.
Ce que ce témoin oublié a écrit il y a six siècles, avant que l'Europe n'ouvre les mêmes routes, dessine une mondialisation venue d'ailleurs, et qui résonne étrangement avec la nôtre.
Première traduction intégrale moderne pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui, qui rend lisible ce témoignage sans rien trahir de l'original. 20 illustrations originales et 9 cartes redessinées donnent à voir l'itinéraire, tandis qu'un appareil de repères (glossaire, chronologie, index, note de l'éditeur, postface, texte original, suggestions de lectures) et des morceaux choisis du texte original accompagnent la lecture.
