Als Volk der Drachen und Feen bezeichnen sich die Vietnamesen in ihrer Mythologie. Heike Baldauf nimmt ihren Leser mit in den Alltag dieses Vielvölkerstaates, in ein Land im Aufbruch im Schatten Chinas. Nach drei Kriegen machte sich Vietnam auf den Weg von einem reinen Agrarstaat hin zu einer modernen Industrienation. Die Autorin berichtet von einer bildungshungrigen Jugend, die nach westlichen Werten strebt, geht Korruption und Umweltproblemen auf den Grund. Sie reist mit dem Leser ins Moped überschwemmte, alle Sinne betörende Hanoi, schreibt über das stille Dorfleben und die Glaubenswelt dieses Volkes, das sich seiner jahrhundertealten Traditionen bewusst ist. So entsteht ein eindrückliches Porträt dieses Küstenstaates in Südostasien.
