Description
A journey to the Tibetan plateau in the high Himalayas, in search of solace and a glimpse of the elusive snow leopard. In 1973, Peter Matthiessen embarked on a 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep. The journey was arduous and sometimes dangerous, but also a 'journey of the heart', amidst the beauty and indifference of the mountains.
This special edition hardback presents a beautifully written account of Matthiessen's adventure, which has become a classic of travel and nature writing. With an introduction by Richard Mabey, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves the natural world and the human spirit.
