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
