Winner of the Prix Renaudot 2019

A New York Times Best Book of 2021

'Extraordinarily beautiful... a long last loving glance at the planet.' Carl Safina, author of Becoming Wild

The snow leopard stalks the frozen expanse of the Tibetan plateau - 4,500 metres above sea level. Fierce, silent, near invisible, she is a perfectly adapted predator.

Escaping Paris's urban sprawl, the renowned French adventurer Sylvain Tesson journeys into the frozen wilderness in search of these most elusive creatures.

Tightly focused and tautly written, Tesson offers a dazzling account of a singular journey, a meditation on the ruthlessness of the natural world, a plea for ecological sanity and a reflection on the lost art of patience.
