An ambitious and magnificent new travelogue by internationally
bestselling, prizewinning writer Erika Fatland. The Himalayas
meander for more than two thousand kilometres through many
different countries, from Pakistan to Myanmar via Nepal, India,
Tibet and Bhutan, where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and
Hinduism are interspersed with ancient shamanic beliefs. Countless
languages and vastly different cultures exist in these isolated
mountain valleys. Modernity and tradition collide, while the great
powers fight for influence. As Erika Fatland introduces us to the
people she meets along her journey, and in particular the women,
she takes us on a vivid and dizzying expedition at altitude through
incredible landscapes and dramatic, unknown histories. Skilfully
weaving the politics, geography, astrology, theology and ecology of
this vast region, she also explores some of the most volatile human
conflicts of our times. With her unique gift for listening, and for
storytelling, she has become one of the most exciting travel
writers of her generation. Translated from the Norwegian by Kari
Dickson
