THE SNOW LEOPARD - PETER MATTHIESSEN KARTONIERT...

One of the greatest pieces of travel and nature writing ever written  this is the true story of
a journey to the high Himalayas in search of the snow leopard.   In 1973 Matthiessen made the
250-mile trek to the dazzling Tibetan plateau of 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.   WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD MABEY    'A beautiful book  and worthy
of the mountains he is among' Paul Theroux
