'An easy, pleasing read, a meandering magic realist travelogue taking us through a changed and changing Himalaya.' DANIEL LIGHT
'A kaleidoscopic and wonderfully rich exploration of the nature, culture, and sacred and human geographies of the Himalaya in all their complexity.' LACHLAN FLEETWOOD
'A meditative and insightful journey. Inspiring!' STEPHEN ALTER
'This is a travel book like no other.' DAVID N. GELLNER
In Human Nature, Thomas Bell embarks on four walks through the Himalaya, each in a different season, to explore the interplay between the land and the people who call it home. This evocative history entwines travelogue with folklore, literature, art and anthropology, offering a nuanced portrait of life over the centuries in one of the world’s most enigmatic regions.
Bell’s decades in Nepal give him an unusual perspective that bridges the gap between insider and outsider. The stories he recounts touch on themes from religion to ecology and political economy, and span from pre-history to the present day. He also deftly examines the impact of British imperialism and the growing external pressures on the environment.
Accompanied by Bell’s striking photographs and maps, Human Nature is a magnificently written account that spans big ideas and real lives. Erudite, intimate and evocative, this is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between communities and their environments.
