Go with Peter Matthiessen all the way to Dolpo, a Tibetan plateau in the high Himalayas.\n 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. \nWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD MABEY\n'A beautiful book, and worthy of the mountains he is among' Paul Theroux\n'A delight' i Paper","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515220558112,"sku":"9780099771111","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780099771111.jpg?v=1780787054","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-snow-leopard-peter-matthiessen-9780099771111","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
