中國大運河是中國古代南北交通的大動脈，是一處超大規模的線性文化遺產，她促進了古代經濟文化發展和社會進步，對於中華民族的發展具有不可替代的重要作用，而運河文化也是中華文化的重要組成部分。另一方面，外國讀者，甚至中國讀者，對於大運河的重要性卻不甚了了。《來自中國的明信片(大運河紀行英文版)(精)》通過對杭州、湖州、嘉興、紹興和寧波等五個城市的大運河（以及其沿岸特色城鎮）的考察，作者大衛·皮卡斯將向讀者講述講述大運河的歷史文化變遷、介紹這些地方的歷史、文化、藝術、人情風俗，並試圖將整個敘事置於中國政治、經濟以及文化和歷史的大背景之下，與此同時，作者也會著重講述自己沿途的見聞，並借此想讀者展示浙江省以及整個中國在現當代的快速變化和發展。
