In the autumn of 1973, writer Peter Matthiessen and zoologist George Schaller embarked on an expedition to Crystal Mountain on the Tibetan Plateau. Their goal was to study the habits of the bharal or Himalayan blue sheep, hoping to spot the elusive and beautiful snow leopard. For Matthiessen, this journey became a profound personal experience, a search for the meaning of being through living with nature and exploring his own interior through Buddhism and Zen. A combination of adventure, mysticism and reflection on the human condition.
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.
