Description
The Snow Leopard is a remarkable account of a journey both physical and spiritual, as the author's arduous climb yields a deepening understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty.
In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller embarked on a perilous trek into the remote mountains of Nepal, driven by a quest to study the Himalayan blue sheep and, perhaps, catch a glimpse of the elusive snow leopard. Along the way, Matthiessen was also on a spiritual journey, seeking the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain.
This Penguin Orange Collection edition features a striking cover design, high-quality paper, and french flaps, making it a collectible and visually appealing addition to any bookshelf.
