A story of a wintertrek over five passes in the Nepal Himalaya;
\nAn account of the author’s search for the rare snow leopard, travelling on
\nfoot from Kathmandu to the remote Crystal Mountain, high in the Himalayas by
\nway of Annapurna. What began as an expedition became, for Mathiessen, a true
\npilgrimage of the heart. The book won the US National Book Award.
\n‚In 1973, Matthiessen journeyed with George Schaller, a field biologist, to
\nCrystal Mountain in the Himalayas, to study the wild blue sheep of the region
\ncalled bharal. They also hoped to see the rare snow leopard, an almost
\nmythical creature which Schaller once glimpsed on a previous visit.
\nMatthiessen is a student of Zen Buddhism and for him this was as much an inner
\njourney as a field trip. He succeeds well in blending the spiritual with the
\nearthly and his book is an evocative account of a remote and timeless place
\nand its people‘ <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
