«El lleopard de les neus» is the travelogue by Peter Matthiessen, published by Brau Edicions in paperback (350 pages, in Catalan).
In 1973, Peter Matthiessen and George Schaller travel to Nepal to observe the bharal, the blue sheep of the Himalayas, with the secret hope of seeing the elusive snow leopard. The account portrays the life of the Dolpo-pa and becomes for the author an inner journey of knowledge guided by Zen Buddhism.
Second volume of the Ulyssus collection. Catalan translation by Irma Triginé Puigdelmàs of The Snow Leopard (1978), winner of the National Book Award. Includes maps.
For readers of travel literature interested in the Himalayas, remote cultures, and 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.
