Krátky popis
'A scholarly yet entertaining synthesis of hundreds of years of
history' Financial TimesThis is the first major history of the
Himalaya: an epic story of peoples, cultures and adventures among
the world's highest mountains. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 DUFF COOPER
PRIZEAn epic story of peoples, cultures and adventures among the
world's highest mountains: here Jesuit missionaries exchanged
technologies with Tibetan Lamas, Mongol Khans employed Nepali
craftsmen, Armenian merchants exchanged musk and gold with Mughals.
Featuring scholars and tyrants, bandits and CIA agents, go-betweens
and revolutionaries, Himalaya is a panoramic, character-driven
history on the grandest but also the most human scale, by far the
most comprehensive yet written, encompassing geology and genetics,
botany and art, and bursting with stories of courage and
resourcefulness.'Magisterial' The Times'His observations are
sharp...his writing glows' The New York Times
