To a Mountain in Tibet with Colin Thubron
In this moving, intimate, and exquisitely crafted travel memoir, Colin recounts 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. Encountering alien faiths, exotic landscapes and peoples, myths and traditions foreign to our own, he explores modern Tibetan culture during an intimate personal voyage. Colin is an award-winning novelist as well as, arguably, the most admired travel writer of our time.
