Ruskin Bond Himalaya: Adventures, Meditations, Life
About Book:
One of the best books ever published on the world’s greatest mountains, now in a revised and expanded edition and a new look. ‘Eclectic pickings you may otherwise encounter in a lifetime of reading…[This anthology is] a delicious hoard.’—India Today. With over fifty essays, this comprehensive volume brings together a dazzling range of voices in an unparalleled panorama. Here you will find stories of great and thrilling ascents and descents; strange epiphanies and hallucinations; the madness of war on the ‘world’s highest battlefield’; tales of exploratory derring-do; and a mutiny up on a mountain. A seeker has an intense spiritual experience on Mount Kailas, another among shamans on a mountaintop in Nepal; and, looking for the snow leopard in Ladakh, an author finds himself. A resident of a Sherpa village writes a heartfelt account of the aftermath of an avalanche that killed porters and climbers on Everest, and residents of Langtang record an oral history of the earthquake which wiped out their village. A matriarch describes her life and family in Almora of a bygone time; a prisoner in Dehra Dun jail draws solace from visits by birds and small animals, and the fragrance of lime makes a traveler’s night in a remote Garhwal village memorable for all time. Edited by acclaimed writers Ruskin Bond and Namita Gokhale—who have a deep and lifelong connection with the Himalaya—this classic anthology—in a revised and expanded edition—spans the entire range, from the foothills to the highest peaks, and from its easternmost to its westernmost ends. It will keep you riveted.
