Ordinær pris 249,00 krBestselgende forfatter Erika Fatland med storslått reiseskildring fra Himalaya.
Erika Fatlands eventyrlige reiseskildringer er prisbelønnet og oversatt til 23 språk. Nå tar hun oss med opp i høyden. Himalaya bukter seg gjennom fem svært ulike land. Her blandes verdensreligionene islam, buddhisme og hinduisme med eldgamle sjamanreligioner. Utallige språk og vidt forskjellige kulturer lever i de bortgjemte fjelldalene. Modernitet og tradisjon støter sammen, mens stormaktene kjemper om innflytelse.
Vi har lest om fjellklatrere på vei opp mot Mount Everest og om reisende på åndelig søken til buddhistiske klostre. Men hvor mye vet vi om menneskene som bor i Himalaya? Fatland lar oss møte dem på nært hold, samtidig som hun tar oss med på en svimlende reise i høyden, gjennom utrolige landskap og dramatisk, ukjent verdenshistorie - helt frem til dagens brennbare konflikter.

Ordinær pris 299,00 krAn ambitious and magnificent new travelogue by internationally bestselling, prizewinning writer Erika Fatland. The Himalayas meander for more than two thousand kilometres through many different countries, from Pakistan to Myanmar via Nepal, India, Tibet and Bhutan, where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism are interspersed with ancient shamanic beliefs. Countless languages and vastly different cultures exist in these isolated mountain valleys.
Modernity and tradition collide, while the great powers fight for influence. We have read about climbers and adventurers on their way up Mount Everest, and about travellers on a spiritual quest to remote Buddhist monasteries. Here, however, the focus is on the communities of these Himalayan valleys, those who live and work in this extraordinary region.
As Erika Fatland introduces us to the people she meets along her journey, and in particular the women, she takes us on a vivid and dizzying expedition at altitude through incredible landscapes and dramatic, unknown histories. Skilfully weaving together the politics, geography, astrology, theology and ecology of this vast region, she also explores some of the most volatile human conflicts of our times. With her unique gift for listening, and for storytelling, she has become one of the most exciting travel writers of her generation.
