About this product

Product Information

An unforgettable spiritual journey through the Himalayas by renowned writer Peter Matthiessen (1927-2014), the National Book Award-winning author of the new novel In Paradise In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller traveled high into the remote mountains of Nepal to study the Himalayan blue sheep and possibly glimpse the rare and beautiful snow leopard. Matthiessen, a student of Zen Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. As the climb proceeds, Matthiessen charts his inner path as well as his outer one, with a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty. This Penguin Classics edition features an introduction by acclaimed travel writer and novelist Pico Iyer.

Reviews
"My favorite record of an animal voyage is a book that's fluent in failure, Peter Matthiessen's nonfiction masterpiece The Snow Leopard . . . the great perfect shock of The Snow Leopard is that Matthiessen never actually sees a snow leopard . . . that failure becomes a powerful lesson in loss, a chance to meditate on the tangled nature of visibility and invisibility." --Sam Anderson, The New York Times Magazine "A masterpiece that exceeds the boundaries of the travel genre and envelops you with its incredible prose." -- Wall Street Journal "Stunning . . . Fiercely felt and magnificently written . . . [Matthiessen] has expressed with uncommon candor and no prospect of relief, a longing which keeps the soul striving and alert in us all." -- Washington Post "A magical book, a kind of lunar paradigm and map of the sacred." -- The Nation "A beautiful, magnificent book that gives off at once the resonance of a classic . . . One of the most wonderful accountsI know of journeying in our time." --W. S. Merwin, " Stunning . . . Fiercely felt and magnificently written." -- The Washington Post Book World " A magical book, a kind of lunar paradigm and map of the sacred." --Jim Harrison, The Nation, " Stunning . . . Fiercely felt and magnificently written." - The Washington Post Book World " A magical book, a kind of lunar paradigm and map of the sacred." -Jim Harrison, The Nation

    One of the best of all travel/trek/diary books.

    I read The Snow Leopard some years ago - I borrowed it from the public library and thought it was very good. I wanted to re-read it, and so ordered a copy of my own. It is a much-loved and lauded classic, and I'm enjoying it this time through as much as I did before.
