'Magnificent ... this book is unlikely to be surpassed' Telegraph
This is the first major history of the Himalaya: an epic story of
peoples, cultures and adventures among the world's highest
mountains. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 DUFF COOPER PRIZE An epic story
of peoples, cultures and adventures among the world's highest
mountains: here Jesuit missionaries exchanged technologies with
Tibetan Lamas, Mongol Khans employed Nepali craftsmen, Armenian
merchants exchanged musk and gold with Mughals. Featuring scholars
and tyrants, bandits and CIA agents, go-betweens and
revolutionaries, Himalaya is a panoramic, character-driven history
on the grandest but also the most human scale, by far the most
comprehensive yet written, encompassing geology and genetics,
botany and art, and bursting with stories of courage and
resourcefulness. 'Magisterial' The Times 'His observations are
sharp...his writing glows' New York Review of Books SHORTLISTED FOR
THE 2021 BOARDMAN TASKER AWARD FOR MOUNTAIN LITERATURE
