Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Step into the fireside glow of a Himalayan village, where the supernatural feels ordinary and every story is a spell waiting to be cast.

The Flying Lama: Tales Around the Hearth invites readers into the enchanting world of a small Himalayan village in Arunachal Pradesh, where the past lingers in every rustling leaf and the supernatural feels as close as the wind against one's skin. Drawing from his Shertukpen heritage, Sange Dorjee Thongdok crafts a collection of stories brimming with mysticism and an unshakable connection to the rhythms of nature. A lama who seems to defy gravity, a village where tradition and modernity stand in quiet conversation--each tale is steeped in folklore and rendered with cinematic detail, divulging a world that is both remote and deeply familiar. Blending wry humor with profound emotion, Thongdok's storytelling captures the essence of a place often overlooked, yet teeming with life.
