"My favorite record of an animal voyage is a book that's fluent in failure, Peter Matthiessen's nonfiction masterpiece The Snow Leopard . . . the great perfect shock of The Snow Leopard is that Matthiessen never actually sees a snow leopard . . . that failure becomes a powerful lesson in loss, a chance to meditate on the tangled nature of visibility and invisibility." --Sam Anderson, The New York Times Magazine "A masterpiece that exceeds the boundaries of the travel genre and envelops you with its incredible prose." -- Wall Street Journal "Stunning . . . Fiercely felt and magnificently written . . . [Matthiessen] has expressed with uncommon candor and no prospect of relief, a longing which keeps the soul striving and alert in us all." -- Washington Post "A magical book, a kind of lunar paradigm and map of the sacred." -- The Nation "A beautiful, magnificent book that gives off at once the resonance of a classic . . . One of the most wonderful accountsI know of journeying in our time." --W. S. Merwin, " Stunning . . . Fiercely felt and magnificently written." -- The Washington Post Book World " A magical book, a kind of lunar paradigm and map of the sacred." --Jim Harrison, The Nation, " Stunning . . .

Matthiessen, a student of Zen Buddhism, was also on a spiritual quest to find the Lama of Shey at the ancient shrine on Crystal Mountain. As the climb proceeds, Matthiessen charts his inner path as well as his outer one, with a deepening Buddhist understanding of reality, suffering, impermanence, and beauty.

    Great seller. Book arrived within a reasonable time frame and was packaged in a protective wrapping. The condition of the book was "Very Good," as was described and includes a "Very Good" dust jacket with award stickers. Great value, extremely fair price. I'm always happy to do business with this trusted seller.

    You can’t always be sure when an item is listed “like new” but this seller delivered a book that is just that. I’m very pleased with the condition of the book and the pricing was excellent compared to other sellers online. It was packaged extremely well and arrived with no wrinkles or folded areas. I made a great purchase and I now look forward to purchasing additional items by this author from this seller. 10/10 satisfaction!

    After two poor experiences with this seller, they exceeded my expectations with this order…hard to believe it was the same seller. The book purchased, identified in their listing as “Very Good”, was, in fact, “Like New”. The price was very fair. Shipping was slow, but that seems to be true with many things purchased in the internet. If I have a complaint, it is that the seller will not respond to specific questions about a listed item before the purchase..too many orders to do so! 🙁

  • One of the best of all travel/trek/diary books.

    I read The Snow Leopard some years ago - I borrowed it from the public library and thought it was very good. I wanted to re-read it, and so ordered a copy of my own. It is a much-loved and lauded classic, and I'm enjoying it this time through as much as I did before.

    Given the stains on cover, spine, would rate condition as acceptable rather than good. Still perfectly readable, however.
