MOUNT EVEREST - The First Expedition of 1921 (Illustrated Edition) Account of the Reconnaissance Expedition to Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Charles Kenneth Howard-Bury ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition set off to explore how it might be possible to get to the vicinity of Mount Everest, to reconnoiter possible routes for ascending the mountain, and ? if possible ? make the first ascent of the highest mountain in the world. A feasible route was discovered from the east up the Kharta Glacier and then crossing the Lhakpa La pass north east of Everest. It was then necessary to descend to the East Rongbuk Glacier before climbing again to Everest's North Col. Initially the expedition explored from the north and discovered the main Rongbuk Glacier, only to find that it seemed to provide no likely routes to the summit. However, at the time it was not realised that the East Rongbuk glacier actually flowed into the Rongbuk glacier ? it was thought it descended away to the east. As a reconnaissance the expedition was a success because it determined that a good route might be to approach the East Rongbuk glacier via the Rongbuk glacier, and then follow the North Col route to the summit.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

Mobile Lifeworlds An Ethnography of Tourism and Pilgrimage in the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Christopher A. Howard ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Mobile Lifeworlds illustrates how the imaginaries and ideals of Western travellers, especially those of untouched nature and spiritual enlightenment, are consistent with media representations of the Himalayan region, romanticism and modernity at large. Blending tourism and pilgrimage, travel across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Northern India is often inspired and oriented by a search for authenticity, adventure and Otherness. Such valued ideals are shown, however, to be contested by the very forces and configurations that enable global mobility.</p> <p>The role ubiquitous media and mobile technologies now play in framing travel experiences are explored, revealing a situation in which actors are neither here nor there, but increasingly are ‘inter-placed’ across planetary landscapes. Beyond institutionalised religious contexts and the visiting of sacred sites, the author shows how a secular religiosity manifests in practical, bodily encounters with foreign environments. This book is unique in that it draws on a dynamic and innovative set of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, especially phenomenology, the mobilities paradigm and philosophical anthropology. The volume breaks fresh ground in pilgrimage, tourism and travel studies by unfolding the complex relationships between the virtual, imaginary and corporeal dynamics of contemporary mobile lifeworlds.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 7,343円

A Hermit in the Himalayas The Classic Work of Mystical Quest【電子書籍】[ Paul Brunton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>'The introductory account of Mr. Brunton's pony-back journey up the mountainside has real charm. One of his most interesting chapters gives a practical-minded consideration to the probable future of Tibet.'</strong> <em>New York Times</em></p> <p>Paul Brunton was one of a very small number of his generation to travel in India and Tibet so extensively at a time when very few were doing so with such insight and discernment. His journalistic skills produced magnificent descriptions of the snowy peaks and high-desert landscapes of the Himalayan region, but it was the lessons he learned from the holy men he met on his journey that transformed him into one of the great interpreters of the East.</p> <p>In this magnificent spirituality classic, he explains that we all need 'oases of calm in a world of storm', no matter what era we are living in, and that to retreat from our everyday lives for a while is not weakness but strength. By taking the trouble to discover the deep silence within us we will find the benefits of being linked to an 'infinite power, an infinite wisdom, an infinite goodness'.</p> <p><em>A Hermit In The Himalayas</em> is a fascinating blend of travel writing and profound spiritual experience. As we accompany the author on his journey through the vast Himalayas ranges towards Mount Kailas in Tibet, he also shows us an even more remarkable - and timeless - inner path which will help us cope with the ups and downs of our contemporary world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,170円

MEDITATION AT THE FOOT OF THE HIMALAYAS【電子書籍】[ Shutao Liao ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The birth of this unusual epic poem was formed by mystique instinct forces, as the poet states:</p> <p>"The writing process of this epic poem satisfied my desire for grand poetry. It is a courageous challenge to the boundaries of imagination and spirit. Like a sailor sailing in the sea, I have no way to retreat but to move forward to the unknown shore.</p> <p>In the past few years, I have picked up the pen to write this epic poem several times, had to put it down in disappointment and then forgot about it. I have to thank a magical night, many beautiful poetry lines crowded into my dreams until I woke up. The epic of dozens of pages long, had already completed its prototype at that moment.</p> <p>Therefore, only half of this collection of the epic poem was written by me using my own brainpower. Some of the images and sentences were automatically formed in dreams. It is the result of the perfect combination of unconsciousness, subconsciousness and consciousness. The sentences formed unconsciously in my sleep continued to flow out in disorder in my subconscious mind. Later, in my consciousness, I struggled to build them into palace-like lines of poetry. Like an insatiable chef, I wandered between thousands of seasonings, colors, and flavors before making my final choice. My thoughts and imagination revolved around the subject, describing it from different angles and levels, in order to achieve a broad and profound effect.</p> <p>In this increasingly chaotic and corrupt world, how much I miss those days of beautiful literature and hungry readers. I wholeheartedly want to add a touch of literary beauty to this era, and I hope that the publication of this epic poem can fulfill my wish."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,134円
