The author accompanies nature photographer Vincent Munier to eastern Tibet to try to see the snow leopard in its habitat. Amid frozen plateaus and silence, Tesson learns the art of waiting and reflects on the beauty of the wild, the human footprint, and the future of increasingly scarce species.

For readers of travel literature and nature writing, with an interest in Tibet and wildlife observation.
