The snow leopard

Sylvain Tesson and Vincent Munier

There's a beast in Tibet that I've been tracking for six years," says Munier.
It lives on the plateaus. It takes long approaches to spot it.
I'm going back this winter, come with me.
- Who is it?
- The snow leopard, he says.
- I thought it had disappeared, I say.
- That's what it makes you think."

In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, photographer Vincent Munier takes writer Sylvain Tesson on a quest for the snow leopard. He introduces him to the delicate art of stalking, reading tracks and the patience needed to catch a glimpse of the beasts. As they traverse the peaks inhabited by invisible presences, the two men weave a dialogue about our place among living beings and celebrate the beauty of the world.
