The Himalaya weave through five very different countries, where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism are mixed with ancient shamanic religions. Countless languages and vastly different cultures live in the secluded mountain valleys. Modernity and tradition collide, while the great powers fight for influence.
We have read about mountain climbers on their way up Mount Everest and about travellers on the spiritual quest for Buddhist monasteries. But how much do we know about the people living in the Himalaya?

喜喜03-08用了一个月才读完Erica的第三本书,总体较为平淡。《中亚行纪》有其独特性,所以经历也很精彩。《the border》的一些国家的旅行经历也更有趣,比如蒙古、朝鲜、南奥赛梯。这本包含了不丹、印度,尼泊尔、中国的旅行经历,也许因为文化更加接近,没有什么太多新鲜感。感觉作者的这趟长途旅行也很疲乏,写起来也很挣扎。不过确实听了读者的反馈,书里完全没有大篇幅的历史背景介绍了。整本让我最感动的竟然是丽江一个自学俄语,翻译了两本没出版的书的修车老头送了作者两包绿茶的小细节。

Terri01-10读了很久,中间一度放弃,还好又继续了,精彩之处是珠峰那一段,令我有充分动力读到最后。从喀什到丽江,围着珠峰这一大圈,花了作者八个月时间,各种民俗文化、历史地理、政治经济,不容易。
