To a Mountain in Tibet

<p><strong>A superb account of a pilgrimage. . . . Characteristically beautiful though uncharacteristically haunted. --Pico Iyer <em>New York Review of Books</em></strong></p><p><strong>Thubron walks for the dead and writes for the living and I can't remember when I have been so thoroughly and deeply moved by an author's outward journey inward. </strong><strong>--Bob Shacochis <em>Boston Globe</em></strong></p><p><em>New York Times </em>bestselling author Colin Thubron returns with a moving intimate and exquisitely crafted travel memoir recounting his pilgrimage to the Hindu and Buddhist holy mountain of Kailas--whose peak represents the most sacred place on Earth to roughly a quarter the global population. With echoes of Peter Matthiessen's <em>The Snow Leopard</em> Peter Hessler's <em>Country Driving</em> and Paul Theoroux's <em>Ghost Train to the Eastern Star</em> Thubron's follow up to his bestselling <em>Shadow of the Silk Road </em>will illuminate interest and inspire anyone interested in traveling the world or journeying into the soul.</p>
