Winner of the Prix Renaudot 2019 A New York Times Best Book of 2021
'Extraordinarily beautiful... a long last loving glance at the
planet.' Carl Safina, author of Becoming Wild The Art of Patience
sees the renowned French adventurer and writer set off for the high
plateaux of remotest Tibet in search of the elusive snow leopard.
There, in the company of leading wildlife photographer Vincent
Munier and two companions, at 5,000 metres and in temperatures of
-25C, the team set up their hides on exposed mountainsides, and
occasionally in the luxury of an icy cave, to await a visitation
from the almost mythical beast. This tightly focused and tautly
written narrative is simultaneously a dazzling account of an
exacting journey, an apprenticeship in the art of patience, an
acceptance of the ruthlessness of the natural world and, finally, a
plea for ecological sanity. A small masterpiece, it is one of those
books that demands to be read again and again.
