Their Idyllic Existence Was Shattered When Four Armed Intruders Invaded Their Home And Viciously Attacked Them, Leaving Them For Dead. The Violent Assault And The Trauma Of Almost Dying Left The Author Questioning Assumptions He Had Lived By Since Childhood. For The First Time, He Encountered The Face Of Evil And The Terror Of The Unknown. He Felt Like A Foreigner In The Land Of His Birth.This Book Is An Account Of A Series Of Treks He Took In The High Himalayas Following His Convalescenceto Bandarpunch (Monkeys Tail); Nanda Devi, The Second Highest Mountain In India; And Mount Kailash In Tibet. He Set Himself This Goal To Prove That He Had Healed Mentally As Well As Physically And To Re-Knit His Connection To His Homeland. Undertaken Out Of Sorrow, The Treks Become A Moving Personal Quest, A Way To Rediscover Mountains In His Inner Landscape. Weaving Together Observations Of The Natural World, Himalayan History, Folklore And Mythology, As Well As Encounters With Other Pilgrims Along The Way, Stephen Alter Has Given Us A Moving Meditation On The Solace Of High Places And On The Hidden Meanings And Enduring Mystery Of The Mountains.
