In 1973 Matthiessen made the 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep. It was an arduous, sometimes dangerous, physical endeavour: exertion, blisters, blizzards, endless negotiations with sherpas, quaking cold. But it was also a 'journey of the heart' - amongst the beauty and indifference of the mountains Matthiessen was searching for solace. He was also searching for a glimpse of a snow leopard, a creature so rarely spotted as to be almost mythical. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD MABEY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39325618307169,"sku":"9781784876845","price":14.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/c48f452ef9dbd92c6f5f7044bc1e487e_3dfa62d7-1ffc-4b64-9a65-e33842094a62.jpg?v=1619259237","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781784876845-snow-leopard","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
