A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This describes two expeditions, one solo and one with an American party close to the China border, completed by the intrepid explorer and plant-hunter Frank Kingdon-Ward prior to the outbreak of WW II. Not originally published until 10 years later, the book is of particular interest in the light of the more recent traumatic history of this region, and has become one of the author's most sought-after titles. Aside from its relevance to those interested in Kingdon-Ward's own focus on the rich botanical diversity of this still inaccessible region, his vivid descriptions of the terrain, the fauna and the peoples -including Tibetans, Lisu, Lashi, Kachin and Nung- encountered en route make this true chronicle fo hardship and perseverence come alive.
