Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. I have lots of old books, many very old and I have been listing them one after another now for some weeks. This will be a break from that routine, helped by the fact that the book has an ISBN number and thus the listing template can be auto-filled, and that this is a new and vibrant book about an incredible place. Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "Tom Kelly and Carroll Dunham, two young Americans, a photographer and a writer-anthropologist, take you to the strangest place in the world. Beaautiful, bitter, joyous, and holy, it is Huymla, an ancient territory at the edge of Nepal, bordering Tibet, hidden in the Himalayas." This book is lavishly illustrated with the color photos by Tom Kelly and ably described and celebrated with the words of the writer-anthropologist. They take you through the seasons and you will enjoy the trip. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is clean and bright and glossy. The hard covers too are clean and bright and unblemished. There is an extensive gift inscription on the front endpaper but that is the only mark I found in the book. The pages and plates are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing of any kind. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Photographs by Thomas L. Kelly (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Two young Americans take us to Humla, an ancient territory at the edge of Nepal where no Westemer has ever lived before. In breathtaking photographs and evocative prose, Thomas Kelly and Carroll Dunham capture Humla's limitless vistas and disclose intimate details of the lives of its extraordinary yak herders, caravan drivers, shamans, and brides who are shared among brothers. Here is a land of eternally snow-capped mountains and sweeping valleys, eerie, forbidding as the landscape of some distant moon, its people all but forgotten by the rest of the world. Their lives are a struggle -- the alpine soil metes out sustenance grudgingly, and long winters threaten to banish the warmth of life forever. Yet these lives yield untold riches. As if the splendid isolation and sheer altitude of the hidden Himalayas bring them closer to the gods, the people of this land are possessed of a spirituality few Westerners will ever know. Kelly's extraordinary photographs are accompanied by Dunham's evocative and lyrical account of life through four seasons of life in fall, winter, spring, and summer. In a world made easy, accessible, and all too familiar by supersonic travel, television, and communication at the click of a mouse, here is an intimate, moving adventure in one of the last truly exotic places on earth.…
