Story of a journey in Myanmar: The Valley of Kessel has a small side Tintin in Burma: Everybody is nice. Everyone is beautiful. Writing is a very classical and balanced and clear chaptering. But if this story reads very well, but it lacks psychological depth and / or twists. Indeed, the plot is loose and frankly ignores Kessel before the civilized manners of Burmese. Over the few three hundred pages of the novel, one looks in vain to penetrate the culture of the natives. Kessel (the narrator) adopt the point of view of a pure expatriate and considers only the surface effects without actually entering the Eastern philosophy. In other words, he offers us a tourist trip, but nothing more. I was disappointed.
