La panthère des neiges - Sylvain Tesson
Do you love nature and travel? This book is for you! La panthère des neiges is a travel memoir written by Sylvain Tesson. Published in 2019, it won him the Prix Renaudot upon release. Having set off for Tibet with his friend, wildlife photographer Vincent Munier, the author discovers the secrets of stalking and watching, and the art of blending into the wild, unspoilt landscape. These skills are essential for the joy of spotting and photographing the snow leopard. The author takes us on this journey to the ends of the earth, where success may not be found where you’d expect.

La panthère des neiges, an incredible account
This narrative draws us into the vast, still-pristine wilderness on the fringes of Tibet. The reader sets out to observe, but it is ultimately nature that observes them. They see little, yet follow the journey of the two companions with rare intensity. The cold, the long treks, the waiting… The reader vicariously experiences the hardships of the Tibetan winter, at minus 30 degrees, while comfortably settled in an armchair.
Sylvain Tesson doesn’t dare admit it to his travelling companions, but it is primarily for the snow leopard that he is there, and that he endures these extreme weather conditions. The animal fascinates him, far more than the wolves or yaks they encounter along the way. The big cat embodies for him the two most important people in his life, his late mother and a woman he loved, long since lost.

The contemplative watch
The sense of wonder is constant, thanks in particular to the author’s distinctive style. All he has to do, for the chance to observe the snow leopard, is wait while making himself invisible. He writes aphorisms, meditates on the human condition, and compares the Eastern philosophies he knows. Sylvain Tesson recalls happy memories and shares his thoughts with us. He discovers the art of contemplation and takes us on a captivating inner journey. The vocabulary he uses is remarkably diverse, and the way he handles tense in his writing is surprisingly bold.

La panthère des neiges, the story of a welcome duality
The two travelling companions complement each other, and this account proves it. The author, Sylvain, is a being in perpetual motion, whose mind is constantly buzzing. He shares his vision of what surrounds him, without always noticing the wildlife watching him. Vincent the photographer, on the other hand, is an expert in contemplation. Accustomed to admiring nature, he is always looking for clues that will help him spot the snow leopard. He is passionate about his craft and always hopes to capture this endangered species. The magnificent animal is used to inhabiting inaccessible places, scaling cliffs, and being wary of everything. This impossible quest explains why the reader feels just as euphoric as the author when he finally encounters it.
