Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The yeti legend: fact or fiction? The Tibetan landscape of snowstorms and howling winter nights is a place where storytelling comes naturally. How often had stories been told in the villages about a massive humanoid who could kill yaks with a single blow—the awful snowman that the Tibetans and Nepalese all swear exist? From Marco Polo and Alexander the Great, through and beyond the Nazi-led expedition in 1938, and up to the present day, the sightings have continued. If the yeti does exist, then they are undoubtedly carnivorous, and part of the legend has it that human flesh is the yetis’ favorite. Wilderness of Ice plots the life and times of Tenzin, lord of the Lhasa temple; Crowley, a British explorer; and Schröder, the German zoologist sent to find the yeti at the behest of his Nazi masters.
