Description

The Wildest Dreams Of Kew, A Profile Of Nepal by Jeremy Bernstein

A factually and graphically rich rendering of 10 million polyglot Nepalese and their 500-mile-long buffer state landlocked between India and Tibet – an ancient brew of intrepid Sherpa mountain guides and fierce fighting Gurkha tribesmen, of a people who moved from the age of the wheel to the age of the airplane with no stops in between. At the same time, this is the fascinating account of three Western visitors who trek across a leech-ridden countryside up the glazed slopes of Everest and, in the process, discover the social patterns and philosophical insights of another world. “And the wildest dreams of Kew, are the facts of Kathmandu….” Rudyard Kipling
