Review:
"One of the greatest contemporary travel writers. . . . As he guides us along these braiding trails, Thubron's moving evocation makes for an unforgettably enlightening journey."--National Geographic Traveler "Book of the Month"

"Like the works of Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, Thubron's gorgeous, evocative writing transcends the genre and reads like great literature."--Carmela Ciuraru, Readymade.com

"Thubron is a versatile painter of place...an expert guide for the region's complex topography...He is refreshingly clear and unintimidated..."--Los Angeles Times

"One of the greats of contemporary travel writing . . . Thubron's transcendent prose places the reader directly on the path to Kailas, culminating with the final glimpse of the sacred site."--Seattle Times

"Thubron walks for the dead and writes for the living, and I can't remember when I have been so thoroughly and deeply moved by an author's outward journey."--Bob Shacochis, Boston Globe

"A powerful and hauntingly elegiac hybrid of travelogue and memoir"--Kirkus Reviews

"Thubron has, as always, thoroughly researched his subject, so his descriptions of shadowy Buddhist shrines and wildly various religious supplicants are interspersed with eloquent accounts of Tibet's place in the imaginings of the West..."--New York Times Book Review

"Not only the most revealing book he has ever published but also the most profound. . . . The telling . . . is masterly, with that sharp poetic eye for detail that is Thubron at his best."--Charles Allen, Spectator

"A masterpiece of travel writing..."--Hugh Thomas, Telegraph

"Thubron's descriptive writing is as dazzling as the scenery. His scholarship on the area's religious and political history is enthralling."--Financial Times
Book Description:
The doyen of travel writing at his elegiac and luminous best

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A superb account of a pilgrimage. . . . Characteristically beautiful, though uncharacteristically haunted." --Pico Iyer, New York Review of Books"Thubron walks for the dead and writes for the living, and I can't remember when I have been so thoroughly and deeply moved by an author's outward journey inward." --Bob Shacochis, Boston GlobeNew York Times bestselling author Colin Thubron returns with a moving, intimate, and exquisitely crafted travel memoir recounting his pilgrimage to the Hindu and Buddhist holy mountain of Kailas--whose peak represents the most sacred place on Earth to roughly a quarter the global population. With echoes of Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, Peter Hessler's Country Driving, and Paul Theoroux's Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Thubron's follow up to his bestselling Shadow of the Silk Road will illuminate, interest, and inspire anyone interested in traveling the world or journeying into the soul. The "New York Times"-bestselling author's dazzling masterpiece, a deeply moving, elegantly written, intimate, and heartrendingly eloquent travel memoir. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780061768279
