To a Mountain in Tibet is perhaps the most personal and poetic work to date by Colin Thubron, one of our greatest travel writers. Rarely visited by Westerners, Mount Kailas is sacred to one-fifth of the earth’s people. Through remote hills, passes and snowfields, Thubron makes his ascent, as the presences of his dead mother and sister travel with him, turning this into a profoundly personal account.
Chaired by Robert Macfarane, Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge and author of Mountains of the Mind and The Wild Places
