Description
Enjoy this special edition hardback of one of the greatest pieces of travel and nature writing ever written.
Go with Peter Matthiessen all the way to Dolpo, a Tibetan plateau in the high Himalayas. This is the account of a journey to the dazzling Tibetan plateau of Dolpo in the high Himalayas.
In 1973 Matthiessen made the 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep.
It was an arduous, sometimes dangerous, physical endeavour: exertion, blisters, blizzards, endless negotiations with sherpas, quaking cold.
But it was also a 'journey of the heart' - amongst the beauty and indifference of the mountains Matthiessen was searching for solace.
He was also searching for a glimpse of a snow leopard, a creature so rarely spotted as to be almost mythical.
