«El leopardo de las nieves» is the travelogue by Peter Matthiessen, published by Siruela in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
In autumn 1973, Peter Matthiessen and zoologist George Schaller travel to Tibet to study the bharal, or Himalayan blue sheep, though their aim is to see the snow leopard. The journey through Dolpo becomes for Matthiessen an inner quest: leaving civilization behind and delving into Buddhism and Zen.
Translation by José Luis López Muñoz. Siruela/Bolsillo collection, number 16. Includes maps of the Himalayan region.
For readers of travel and nature literature seeking a work where observation of the Himalayas merges with Buddhist spirituality.
Peter Matthiessen was an American novelist, naturalist, wilderness writer, zen teacher, and onetime CIA agent. A co-founder of the literary magazine The Paris Review, he is the only writer to have won the National Book Award in both nonfiction and fiction. He was also a prominent environmental activist.
