The Frozen River is his extraordinary account of the time he spent there, living alongside the Zangskari people, before the arrival of roads and mass tourism. James immerses himself in the Zangskari way of life, where meditation and week-long mountain festivals go hand in hand, and silence and solitude are the hallmarks of existence. When butter traders invite James on their journey down the frozen river Leh, he soon realises that this way of living, unchanged for centuries, comes with a very human cost. In lyrical prose, James captures a crucial moment in time for this Himalayan community. A moment in which their Buddhist practices and traditions are in flux, and the economic pull of a world beyond their valley is increasingly difficult to ignore. 505 00 $t Wolves and Avalanches. $g 6. $t The Road to Zangskar -- $g 2. $t Village Life: Padum -- $g 3. $t Snow and New Year -- $g 4. $t Chadar -- The River Frozen -- $g 5. $t Karsha Monastery -- $g 6. $t Wolves and Avalanches. 651 0 $a Ladakh (India) $x Description and travel. 650 7 $a Buddhism. $2 cct 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 cct 650 7 $a Solitude. $2 cct 650 7 $a Travel. $2 cct 651 7 $a Lada?kh (India) $x Description and travel. $2 cct 651 7 $a China $y Tibet Autonomous Region. $2 cct 650 7 $a Buddhism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840028 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Solitude. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125561 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a India $z Ladakh. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01218510 651 7 $a China $z Tibet Autonomous Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01758817 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9780008353193 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=439F501C4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
