A travel book with a difference, The Himalayan Arc gives insider and outside perspectives on a crucial, enthralling, yet often under-reported part of the world. Covering the entire region from Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, north-east India to Thailand and Myanmar, it looks at both the cultural continuities and political disconnects and tries to evoke the flavour and texture of this region through essays, short stories, poetry, narratives and photographs. With contributors such as Catherine Anderson, Pushpesh Pant, Ma Thida, Chetan Raj Shreshta, Janice Pariat, Salil Tripathi, Andrew Duff, David Malone, Prajwal Parajuly and many others, this promises to be the most comprehensive look at the region.
